Summary

The Journal activity will provide an intuitive interface for viewing projects and files saved by the XO user. See the Human Interface Guidelines for theoretical discussion.

The Journal is a key component of the Bitfrost security specification. The document Journal and Overlays discusses one possible implementation strategy for the Journal and auto-population while using (particularly legacy) activities.

Functional Test

Basic

  • The Journal comes up running when the XO is powered on.
  • The basic functional test is to create an Abiword document and Paint file, save them, then ensure that they show up in the journal. From the journal interface you should be able to associate these two activites to the same project and to a second XO.
  • Close the activity; ensure that it closes properly.
  • Open the activity from the Journal interface and make sure it opens properly.

Secondary

  • Journals are properly archived and can be restored from the school server.
  • Sharing?
