Does anyone else want to add their thoughts on:   These are all good for now but without the safety of the 2-3 million default users, SL can not just be the upstream. There are some more fundamental questions now that we need to compete in the open market. In a nutshell, whom do we target

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar Labs Roadmap. [SD 61;79]

very nice analysis, thanks a lot. Let me focus on a couple of points - Sell for 1.99$. I feel that building business around Sugar might be essential for its survival. And I like the idea, it seems like it might even  work! (I have no clue about business, mind you :P). Though I'm not sure this

What do you mean with utilizing sugar shell etc? It seems like that's either porting the GNOME platform to make the current implementation work, or rewriting them using the Android SDK. On Sunday, 10 November 2013, Yioryos Asprobounitis wrote: very nice analysis, thanks a lot. Let me focus on

ooops   What do you mean with utilizing sugar shell etc? It seems like that's either porting the GNOME platform to make the current implementation work, or rewriting them using the Android SDK. Probably another technically inaccurate term. I mean  re-writing  but keeping the Sugar

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar Labs Roadmap. [SD 61;79]

Thanks for clarifying. IMO we should not rewrite Sugar and activities using the Android SDK - While Android is nominally free software for it's licence, it seems the current development practices (like code drops) gives Google too much control on the project direction. I don't want to be locked

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar Labs Roadmap.

Personally, I don't think we need support regular desktop apps, because doing it, we lost consistency in the desktop, and there are already a lot of general purpose desktops already. Sugar is a desktop for kids, simplicity and consistency between activities is a plus. The XOs can use Gnome, to

- We should keep supporting existing deployments, this would duplicate the work completely. Post .094 Sugar can hardly run in 75% of its installed base (XO-1s), so we do not really support the majority of existing deployments. I am pretty sure this can be solved. See the thread about

Dude, only 2 commits by me? No way! :P I think grepping by Signed-off-by is not quite accurate, we have not been using it in the last six months or so. But I'm just nitpicking, your point stands. Buuh, it's your fault for not signing ! :) Using Author: sugar-toolkit-gtk3]$ git log --since=1
