Thanks for all the input.  We are exited to be a small part of this great movement!  But I dont believe our problem has been fully understood.  I see it is not only first-world users that will access the internet.  You are talking about schoolservers in Nepal etc. getting the kids online.  This is wonderful.  But the 3rd world kids will have the same problem we first worlders are having....inability to send webpages - or written articles, or drawings - across the net to others.  Or to receive them.  I'm sure the children will want this function once they are adept.  >From back-channel discussion with Tomeu I learned that the XO apparently saves things in Open Document and they cannot be decoded at reception.  I have Gmail, I can attach a Journal article/item to Gmail (or Yahoo mail) but it will not transfer in readable language....it arrives only in code.  I, like most users, am not code-savvy.  I dont dare work in Terminal or any activity where my ineptness could cause a breakdown I couldnt correct.  I dont dare try to update to a newer build on my own.  The 3rd-worlders may not tell you about this problem because they haven't gotten this far yet, but they will.  You have discussed putting a toolbar in Browse.  That would be wonderful, not only for a search bar, but for items like Save and Send Link.  One could save individual pages, not just the entire Browse activity for the day.  Eventually Tinymail would work if it transferred in the same language as sent.  In simplest form the problem now is how to get data in plain English from the Journal to Gmail to another computer.  Perhaps this would not be difficult to resolve.  Appreciatively, Val Stansfield <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 12:17 PM, Eben Eliason <<a href="mailto:eben.eliason@gmail.com">eben.eliason@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 4:36 PM, J.M.

When I read this the first time, I only considered the approach of first opening an email interface (for instance, Gmail in Browse) and then selecting a file from the Journal to attach to it.  I hadn't considered wanting to send the document I'm *currently working on* to someone else as an attachment. One reason for this might be due to the fact that we *do* plan to add a "send to..." option to the palette/toolbar for each activity, to allow direct file transfers between people running Sugar.  Perhaps there is a place in here somewhere for "mail to..." as well?  Or, perhaps under send to it's possible to select an individual, or a group, or an *activity* (!) which could then take some action based upon what it was given.  By selecting an email activity, it could generate a new draft message and automatically attach the file. - Eben </blockquote></div>
