[Sugar-devel] Journal --- Sugar-Developers meeting REMINDER (2 July, 2009 - 14.00 (UTC)) --- irc.freenode.net, #sugar-meeting

[Eben Eliason]

I like these terms, but I don't think they define the split I'm
referring to. object-push and object-pull describe, "sending an object
to a friend" and "taking something from my friend's Journal"
respectively. Both of these types of sharing are "object-sharing" (the
recipient gets the resulting object, with a new tree_id).

The more I think about it, I kind of like the "object-sharing" and
"activity-sharing" distinction, since in all of our high-level
outlines of Sugar we break the UI down into 3 core components: people,
activities, and objects. In this paradigm, we have:

object-sharing: the transfer of objects from people to people, via
push (send to) or pull (view published journal)
activity-sharing: collaboration among two or more people within an
activity, acting on a shared object or objects

Can someone phrase this more clearly?
