Description & Goals

Summary

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

The Journal is also 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.
