Introduction
Entries in the Journal are composed by opaque data stored in one file and metadata properties about that data. For retrieving entries from one XO's Journal to another, all that information about an entry needs to be bundled in a single file. This file is called a 'journal entry bundle'.
Rationale
By bundling journal entries in single files, we can share entries between XO's and retrieve entries from the web (for example downloading from an http server that manages our backups).
Package
Journal entry bundles should be packaged as zip files with the ".xoj" extension. The mime type of the file is 'application/vnd.olpc-journal-entry'.
