[Testing] Regardingn keep option in activities

[James Cameron]

The design goals can be found in
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Laptop_Experience/The_Journal

The Keep option preserves the current activity and data in the journal
as a separate object.  When an activity is quit, another preservation
event occurs.

I can see a use for Keep in all activities that create journal
entries.

I can't see a use for Keep in an activity that does not create a journal
entry.

When Write is closed, the current document is "automatically saved" as
you put it, and in this way Write is indentical to the other activities
the create journal entries.

If you'd like to entertain a design discussion with Sugar Labs about
this, then you can certainly engage them ... however any major changes
would not appear until the next Sugar version, and we are not currently
tracking the latest Sugar version on the OLPC XO-1.5 builds.

Remember also that a deployment may choose to remove or change some
features of Sugar ... and you aren't testing those changes.  It is
important that the software that the deployments begin with is tested,
after that they can do as they need.
