Hi, Walter
Apparently I am being very careless in writing. The intent of this
feature is to require a title supplied by the user before the object is
saved. If the user
changes the title in the activity palette, as per the originial design,
the 'save as' alert is not needed. If the user does not care enough
about the document
to give it a name, then it need not be saved (as when one scribbles in
Paint to try out a color, for example).
It really has nothing to do with commit. That is done automatically when
the activity quits if the user has given it a name. Currently in most of
the XOs I look at, the Journal is full of 'Write activity' objects where
the user has no chance to remember which one was which.

Yes the proposal is a 'commit message' with a 'don't commit' option. I
was never a fan of the former but having the option would change
my mind.
Can you help point Utkarsh to when this was removed? Thanks!
It was sometime before 0.96 because it was in that release I added the
"Write to Journal Anytime" feature.
But I am confused as to what problem we are solving here.
I think we should require commit messages in Sugar the same way we
require them in our own work. But that said, the decision to commit is
made numerous times through out the lifecycle of an activity, not just
at closing. For example, Turtle, Write, and many others will write
whenever the activity goes to the background. And Turtle saves
whenever you run code. So how does a "don't commit" option work exactly?
