The journal user experience has been discussed in several meetings, but 
not on the mailing lists. There is a section about it on the journal 
which I assume will be filled once the plan is finalized.

Current implementation is just a prototype which will allow us to start 
working on the UI. The API looks like:

ds = datastore.get_instance()
obj1 = ds.get(<uid>)
obj1.set_data(<array of bytes, or a string>)
obj1.set_properties({'foo': 1, 'bar': 'bobloblawslawblog'})
print obj1.get_properties()
obj2 = ds.create(<array of bytes, or a string>, {'baz': 2134512})
obj2.connect('updated', object_updated_cb)


Ivan is working on the real implementation. I don't know if he has any 
specification about it nor I'm aware of public discussion.
