I believe that page for the toolbar design is (correct me if I'm wrong Eben):
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Toolbars

I also REALLY like this idea.  Perhaps if the journal integrates the
idea of a license icon/tag, content that is backed up to the school
server that is creative commons or similarly licensed could be made
available to other students.  I like the idea of a hierarchy of
aggregation and sharing.  It would also allow a form of non-real-time
collaboration that we currently don't support.

I am a little unsure what the Actions, Objects and Labels tabs do however.
