Both of these types of sharing are "object-sharing" (the recipient gets the resulting object, with a new tree_id). The more I think about it, I kind of like the "object-sharing" and "activity-sharing" distinction, since in all of our high-level outlines of Sugar we break the UI down into 3 core components: people, activities, and objects. In this paradigm, we have: object-sharing: the transfer of objects from people to people, via push (send to) or pull (view published journal) activity-sharing: collaboration among two or more people within an activity, acting on a shared object or objects Can someone phrase this more clearly?
