Yes, I think we need to assume this model. I don't think this is going to break the basic paradigm of Sugar, since this prompt need only happen for *new* activities. Anything which has been previously kept in the Journal will continue to autosave. It's only the first time that you *really* need to give a meaningful title, and also then that you might decide it's not worth keeping at all. > I know it is a goal to require as little text as possible.

It can have a name field, already filled out with the best darn attempt at a name we can manage, a tag field (and perhaps even a list of popular tags as well, to apply to it with a click or a drag/drop), and buttons for [Erase] (Or [Don't Keep]?) and [Keep]. - Eben > cheers, > > Garrett > _______________________________________________ > Devel mailing list > Devel@lists.laptop.org > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel > _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
