It's entirely unclear what this project has morphed to. Tomeu, what use is uploading arbitrary journal entries to Moodle? I thought creating pdf output in sugar and enabling uploading of the pdf to Moodle was the point of this project. That is useful in two ways. First, it is a path to assignment turn-in or printing either through Moodle or by other transports to a system configured to print pdfs. It also allows a student to review the printer-ready output to decide if it is worth getting hard copy. <br>

</div>I would actually be happy if we just implemented sending journal<br>
entries to the print queue and the moodle module. Print to pdf has<br>
several important use cases and I would like to see it implemented for<br>
0.86 for at least Write and Browse, but I don't think it needs to be<br>
part of this GSoC.<br>

</div>Yeah, I would prefer if we use simple file upload at first because it<br>
works already.<br>
<br>
There's lots of fun stuff to do in this area, but what gives most<br>
value to the user is quite straightforward. We should aim to leave the<br>
complicated stuff for the end, as extras, and focus on delivering what<br>
matters most first<br>
