Excerpts from Teemu Leinonen's message of Thu Dec 09 10:31:02 +0100 2010:

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).
