Yes. There are lots of potential use cases that you might support, but you will not be able to support them all. I am suggesting that you approach this as a "critical path" problem. Do the absolute minimum amount of work necessary to achieve useful functionality in some situations, and then grow it from there. > And personally I would definitely prefer a client-server approach as it > simplifies many things.

I agree the ability to convert things to PDF would be nice to have. I even proposed it as a feature of the Journal in June: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2008-June/006598.html What I am saying here is: conversion to PDF within Sugar is not on the critical path to working print support. > one question, the school server will be running on a normal distro, or > sugar?

I just want to warn you against putting too many things into one Summer of Code proposal. Remember: most Summer of Code projects fail, because the project is too big and the code never reaches sufficient quality to be merged into the main codebase. - --Ben -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAknCkFoACgkQUJT6e6HFtqQQEACcCmit2diezRw7Jsa3KW9UVuGo /msAniY1boOs/7GaXuDBnoZdjQ+7QKGQ =4kja -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
