Detailed Description
The reason to this feature is having Journal views for different purposes i.e. Journal plugin could be very common/simple but views for Books/Video/etc could have some special UI features. Another benefit of Journal plugins is that we can have non-core plugins and distribute them from ASLO.
Purposes to have special Journal plugins API in addition to activities API:
- security reasons, browsing Journal entries and launch/remove/change objects could be denied for regular activities in next sugar releases
- Journal integration
- fast access to plugin views
- ObjectChooser integration
Plugins API will provide necessary functionality:
- TreeViewModel as a source of objects; so, all pulugins should use TreeViewModel for list widgets
- UI widgets, like TreeView, TableView, tag clouds etc.
- shell related procedures(like activate objects)
Benefit to Sugar
Browsing different types of sugar object looks the same in many cases (search, tagging etc.). So, keep unified code base and do not split it could be useful idea.
Scope
- affects Journal code in sugar package

User Experience
