I am not purely convinced on eliminating the files paradigm, maybe the
folders would be a different conversation. But files are well... pretty
obiquos. Since you seem very interesting in having this paradigm of a
journal. I wonder if you got inspired out of Zeitgeist project in gnome (I
think they rename it now to something more normal like gnome-journal or
something).
I would like to hear your validation of the journal and why is it a good
idea, and how deep will this change goes beyond the UI and apps to a
commandline environment.
