I hope everyone considers that the journal-multi-selection feature has
passed through several iterations of design and code review already. This a
great improvement to journal's usability and is already being used in the
ground.

It was a joint effort between many SL community members since EduJAM 2011,
so I think there should be a consensus towards accepting it.

I know, at first hand, that Caacupe (Paraguay) kids will be more than happy
with this ^. We should support also features that makes Sugar more
enjoyable to it's users.

We should also keep in mind that webservices can offer a lot of utilities
for deployments in the near future, and it will give Sugar a another way to
expand its capabilities without "writing-from-scratch" everything.
