[sugar] G1G1v2 Activities

2008-09-17 Thread Greg Smith
Hi All,

We need to pick the activities we ship with 8.2 when its manufactured 
for G1G1 users. Management needs to sign off on the final list as early 
as next week.

Its not definitive but we want your input on what we should include.

What do you think are the most important activities to include?

Please pick up to 10 and put them in order of priority.

We will tally the votes and use that as input to the decision.

Thanks,

Greg S

PS this is not a scientific voting system like used recently in the 
sugar vote. I accept Arrow's impossibility theorem 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow%27s_impossibility_theorem) and my 
math foo is weak so I'm not going to try and justify the methodology.

Going over http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities , there are so many
cool ones it's frustrating to pick only 10.

1.  Browse
2.  Write
3.  Read
4.  Record
5.  Pippy
6.  eToys
7.  TamTamJam
8.  Paint
9.  Implode
10. x2o

I didn't pick Terminal to squeeze in one more and I pretended that the
console might be enough (but I don't believe you'd ship without
Terminal).

 Thanks,
 
 Greg S

[sugar] Finale: consider merging a few fun Sugar patches?

2008-09-17 Thread Michael Stone
Folks,

We've reached the last call for changes before final test and, in the
hopes of ending our development cycle on a playful note, I'd like to ask
the sugar team to consider whether they'd be comfortable reviewing and
merging a couple of the outstanding UI patches like Scott's alternate
layouts patches [1] and Martin's network feedback patches [2].

Sugar team: you can nix the idea if it seems too risky, if the patches
aren't baked, or if it would take too much time to accomplish, but if
you're willing to step up and handle the review, merge, and testing,
then I think it would a joyous finale to a remarkable development cycle.

Regards,

Michael

P.S. - (The deadline for this action, should you choose to accept it,
would be Friday afternoon.)

P.P.S. - Eben mentioned to me that he was concerned that people might
falsely interpret some of the new 8.2.0 Sugar APIs as stable when they
are, in fact, almost certain to change in the next major release. I
would find it commendable if some Sugar developer took this last
opportunity to add some bold comments to the relevant APIs warning
developers who examine them about this probable future breakage.

* Both patches contains string additions I guess (hopefully not
changes?). Someone would have to sort that out with sayamindu and the
localization team.

Sounds good. Hopefully there are a few other sugar volunteers who could
chip in to help look for regressions?

* The patches are large and I don't think it's impossible that they

I'm the one who'se suggesting it, so I'd take the blame.

This can happen immediately, yes?

Eben, what APIs are you thinking about? In general the whole Sugar API
will need to be reviewed. I have yet to figure out when, how and what
kind of backward compatibility we offer. It's something I'll be
working on in the next few weeks.

Eben specifically mentioned the APIs used by Frame devices, layouts, and
Control Panel entries.
