There are two types of InfoSlicer journal entries.  Which one are you
referring to?

One type has a monochrome icon and a description "This is a bundle
containing articles on InfoSlicer Activity.  To view these articles,
open the 'Browse' Activity, Go to 'Books', and select 'InfoSlicer
Activity'."

However, this type of journal entry just works if you ignore those
instructions and just click on it.  Browse shows the content.

The other type of journal entry has an icon with the user's colour pick,
an empty description, and a preview showing an InfoSlicer screenshot.
Just clicking on this journal entry opens InfoSlicer and restores state.

This seems to be working nicely, though I've no idea if it is working
properly.

This seems to be working properly.  You should have a different journal
entry containing the published articles.  Make sure you click on the
correct entry.

Could you be more specific please?  Give me a URL.  I can't be sure I'm
looking at the same thing.

I've looked at activities.sugarlabs.org and it refers to
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/InfoSlicer ... and the
screenshots there are certainly inconsistent with what InfoSlicer-8
looks like on XO-1.5.

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/images/a/ad/Infoslicer-tutorial.pdf is dated
31st January 2009, and also uses a different toolbar.

This is consistent with development going ahead of documentation.  I
sense an opportunity.
