We are safe writting to 'data' or 'tmp' directories in the activity root:

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Almanac/sugar.activity.activity#How_do_I_get_the_file_path_where_I_can_write_files_programmatically.3F

For example Browse stores a sqlite database in 'data' for the
autocompletion in the URL/title entry (places.py in Browse).
