Sugar Roadmap

Just a random dump. Perhaps items should be given an estimated effort, ranked by importance, put into a hierarchy, linked to trac tickets, distributed in OLPC milestones...

• Key bindings for:
  • toolbox tabs, buttons and actions in palettes
  • ebook mode
• Cursor auto-hiding. (Trac #2954)
• New Home view and Frame design.
  • Move devices and running activities to the frame.
  • Move activity launchers to the donut.
  • Add a activity list view.
  • Eben, can you add a link to a page with the new mockups?
• Control panel UI.(important parts: activation, language, keyboard)
• Modal dialogs.
  • Fade out effect for modal dialogs.
• Performance
  • Improve python activity startup.
  • Improve Sugar boot time.
  • Improve memory usage of python activities.
  • Reduce memory usage of the shell: perhaps merging the journal and shellservice processes?
  • Use composition so redraws are smoother. We'll consume some more memory. See how matchbox 2 can help on this.
• Improve frame activation. hot corners (Trac #5629)
• palette persist over zoom levels (Trac #4084)
• add pylint config/cleanup (Trac #560)
• Implement grab/drag key support (Trac #447)

Journal and Datastore

• Bundling of journal entries/objects.
• Sharing of journal entries.
• Journal with separation of journal entries and data objects.
• Versioned objects in the journal.
  • old activity id is reused when resuming. (Trac #6254)
  • resuming object in different activity. (Trac #6253)
• Datastore stores deltas between versions of the same object.
• session handling. Just autosave on shutdown? sync on shutdown (Trac #6014)
• activities should autosave periodically?
