Excerpts from Teemu Leinonen's message of Thu Dec 09 10:31:02 +0100 2010: > Is it possible for a teachers to read (and comment) the student's > Journals?
> Actually it would be great if all the Journals on XO could be (by > default) open for reading (and commenting) by everyone in the learning > community / local, near by XO users. That would be the exact opposite of great and it's something Bitfrost intends to protect against [1,2]. The Journal is called thus for a reason: It records _everything_ the user did on the system (within Sugar, that is) and not just school-related work. If Journal entries are to be published, it needs to be on an opt-in basis, not opt-out. There has been some experimental work [3] to allow others to access your Journal (and a way to choose a license [4] for each entry), but nothing actually usable so far (AFAIK at least).
