I would actually be happy if we just implemented sending journal
entries to the print queue and the moodle module. Print to pdf has
several important use cases and I would like to see it implemented for
0.86 for at least Write and Browse, but I don't think it needs to be
part of this GSoC.

Yeah, I would prefer if we use simple file upload at first because it
works already.

There's lots of fun stuff to do in this area, but what gives most
value to the user is quite straightforward. We should aim to leave the
complicated stuff for the end, as extras, and focus on delivering what
matters most first
