This isn't quite accurate. We've been adding some pre-loaded content to the Journal for quite some time now, and some activities (as you noted, Turtle Art) have been adding content to the Journal as well. The current out-of-band examples mechanism is not terrific and confuses users (at least in the case of Pippy and Turtle Art as observed and reported from the field). A unified approach would likely be easier rather than harder for the user to comprehend. Let's test it.
