We have plans but nobody working on this currently. We want to have a
filesystem view of the journal that can be browsed from the cli and
from nautilus, and a more complete way of browsing filesystems from
Sugar.

Torello already wrote a proof of concept FUSE plugin that allows
browsing the Journal. I think the ideal would be a gvfs plugin that
would give us both integration with the Gtk virtual fs and a FUSE
mountpoint. Then the journal would appear in the Nautilus sidebar.

About a hierarchical file browser in Sugar, I think we need it anyway
for removable devices, but I'm not sure where we would put such a
window and how it would look like.
