We actually did a lot of work on this in the last release cycle with the 
design team on making a better separation between resume and start new 
in the Journal. After making tests [1] in deployments for "start new" 
vs. "resume" we concluded that the way activity starting works on the 
iPhone would probably work well in Sugar, too [2].

In any case, we have been working on this topic so hard during the last 
release cycle, would be great it we conclude something from that 
discussion at make it an action item.
