User:Martinlanghoff/XS 0.6 plan

Notes

• Add 1w of stabilisation / QA / Bugfixing
• LHF: Low hanging fruit

Pri 1

• Scalability: ejabberd/presence partitioning via Moodle (2w)

• Lease mgmt - activation, renewal, blacklist (3~4w)
  • XS: network proto layer, USB-based delivery handling, mgmt UI
  • XO: firmware, initrd, userland
  • Needs simple service announcement scheme

• Browse.xo transparent sign on - working with Simon (2~3d)

• DS-Backup -- Restore UI (2d)

• Management scheme (2w)
  • Scripts automation
  • Update callback scheme

Totals - 8~9 weeks

Pri 2

• Easier transparent OS and activity upgrade - LHF -
  • service announcement scheme
  • small XO work (~3d work)

• XS on XO - LHF, working with Jerry

Totals - ~1w

Pri 3

• Basic reporting scheme (~4d)
• Ability to switch off registration service (~2d) -- local teams are worried about bogus registrations
• Tie internet access to registration - (1w) -- some local teams are worried about locals "stealing" very limited internet bandwidth. We could block internet access from un-registered machines or just throttle them very aggressively. Naturally, needs a 'whitelist' mechanism and UI to whitelist teacher's non-XO laptops.

Totals - 2~3w

Special offer

• 2~3 weeks of polish on Moodle for the XS to close the gaps so that we can start taking advantage of community work.

Not in the plan

• F10/F11 rebase
• Frills or cushions
