Comment(by kimquirk):

 From Marco:
 here is a list of things that I think needs to happen:

  * Design team. I talked with Eben and I think we need a way to
 differentiate activities and objects. Either using visual styling inside
 the mesh view or doing some sort of overlay (which I think would be
 cleaner but we would have to evaluate implementation if we go that way).
 Also Eben was thinking to a slightly different way to trigger share from
 the journal. Anyway we need a solid/agreed design before starting with
 the implementation.

  * Collabora. Add support to the presence service to publish Objects. We
 might be able to reuse the Activity implementation and just give it
 different properties, but I know too little about gabble and salut, I'm
 guessing.

  * Collabora. Implement Object downloading in the Sugar shell. I hope we
 can just use Tubes for it. I think Simon (erikos) has some experience
 with Tubes so maybe he can help out if Collabora can't handle it.

  * Marco/Tomeu/Simon. Hook it up in the UI. If implemented as described
 by Walter it would be relatively trivial. No risk for the codebase.
