 In the mockup http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Journal#04 , the "Send to"
 option uses a envelope icon. But this has more or less been taken in the
 digital world as representing e(lectronic)-mail. This option may or may
 not use e-mail (it might eventually provide a series of methods, one of
 which e-mail).

 I suggest using a more generic "sending" icon.

 One such icon could simply be an arrow pointing right. I thought of this
 because another mockup shows an action to "get more activities", and the
 icon used is that of an arrow pointing down (hinting at it being a
 download).
 In the future, uploads (posting to blogs, to archive websites, school
 server, etc.) could be represented as upward-pointing arrows.

 These arrows should perhaps have more meat in them than just simple
 arrows, to differentiate their nature of moving content, in contrast with
 simple arrows which just point and may be used elsewhere in Sugars future.
