Hi Ubuntu Developers (snip original very, very long e-mail about Edubuntu originally typed)
Here are some ideas we've been discussing in Edubuntu for Natty and Natty+1. They probably won't fit in to one single Ubuntu track, so I opened a new thread on this list (hope that's ok). They aren't all intended to be implemented and some ideas will most certainly require a lot of planning and discussion. We've never had a shortage of ideas before, usually just a shortage of people to implement them. Having said that, additional ideas are always welcome and this list will probably grow a bit in the lead-up to UDS. === Installer === * More options for desktop environments * More LTSP options for LTSP options screen * Fix delays caused in installer by installing almost all available Ubuntu language packs, then removing almost all of them again except for the one that the user chose * New Ubiquity slideshow === Edubuntu Server === * Create meta-package that could be used on ubuntu-server that installs and if possible, configures edu-webapps * Test latest moodle packaging efforts done in Debian and sync * Assist Schooltool team early in release to get final remaining Zope dependencies in the archives * Take a new look at central authentication in Ubuntu and how it can be simplified, in particular the work done by Opensys * Investigate other potential server side apps and tools and find a better way to deliver them (web apps are a pain) == Edubuntu Artwork === * Update the breathe-icon-theme to remove old (brown) Ubuntu references and make it more modern, make panel icons more appropriate and in line with Ubuntu artwork, while maintaining some playfulness * Refresh Edubuntu colours and update GTK theme, plymouth theme, GDM login, etc to be more consistent, fix current artwork bugs == Edubuntu Documentation == * Edubuntu 11.04 installation guide, release notes, release announcement * Edubuntu LTSP Tips and Tricks Document * "Glue documentation" between upstream documentation for Edubuntu for tools such as Pessulus, Sabayon, iTalc, Nanny, etc. Explain Edubuntu specific differences. * More instructional videos on YouTube, make better use of the awesome YouTube community that have already created a bunch of screencasts, feature videos on website/planet. == Edubuntu Desktop == * Zeitgeist admin integration, allow administrators to get summaries of what users have been up to * Qimo Gnome session with desktop-profiles * Sugar session * Remove ltsp-live from menus and add it to boot options when choosing installer-only/gnome-session == Edubuntu Meta === * Possibly include one or more of the following: pencil, geogebra, pdfmod, new italc, openspell [needs-packaging], calibre, freeciv, lybniz, melting, linthesia, gimpbox [needs-packaging], ttf-sil-andika, stellarium, planetarium, celestian * Replace scribus with scribus-ng * Fix depends for qcad-doc on qt3-assistant * Work with Kubuntu to fix kde-edu dependencies, currently an entire KDE session is installed on Edubuntu that we don't really want since it's not configured at all == Edubuntu website == * Feature our users prominently, show the world where Edubuntu is used with photos, stories and videos * Add an Edubuntu marketplace, showing where Edubuntu support and services can be found, including companies that sell pre-installed Edubuntu systems such as Zareason and System76 (discuss with Canonical folk at UDS) -Jonathan -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
