[Sugar-devel] [ASLO] Release Read ETexts-19

[James Simmons]

Gabriel,

I finally tried your Leer Pen Drive, and other than not being able to
figure out how to copy a file to the clipboard I was impressed.  It
looks like something that Sugar could use.  I may try to put together
a variation on it soon that would allow copying from thumb drive,
CD's, Data DVDs, etc. to the Journal directly.

It would be nice if one of the things Activities were allowed to write
to was external drives mounted on /media.  That would enable anyone to
put together a Journal-like Activity and yet would probably not do too
much harm securitywise.
