We have two alternatives here: a more traditional ''file and directory model'' and the goal system, the ''journal''.

==File model==


* Save images from a web page, using a context menu, activated by the right mouse button.
* Save images from a web page, using a context menu, activated by the right mouse button.
* Insert images in the write activity using a file picker.
* Insert images in the write activity using a file picker.

There are some features that we will not be able to implement using this model:

* Renaming of files
* Deletion of files
* Copy of text snippets from the web to the write activity

==Journal model==

===Clipboard===

* When dragging with the frame hidden you need to move the mouse a bit to be able to paste. Fix this.
* Make drag of images from mozilla work.
* Make drag of images to abi work.
* Preview images in the rollover.
* Briefly pop in and out the frame when a download is initiated or a copy or cut happens.
* Make pasting from the clipboard works as specified (one object is selected at one time, and the user can change it by clicking on another object).
* Copy new files to ~/Journal and name them from their title.

===Journal activity===
* Entries renaming.
* Startup the journal when clicking on the icon in the donut.

===Shell===
* Let activities rename their journal entry title by an entry in the activity rollover

We can't implement browser bookmarks if we go with the file model.

  This page is monitored by the OLPC team.

Laptop Storage

  • Save images from a web page, using a context menu, activated by the right mouse button.
  • Insert images in the write activity using a file picker.

Reading

  • Open doc and odf files from the web browser in the write activity
  • Make pdf autopen in xbook
  • Language support splotchy, including Urdu (884)
  • new browser windows (Bug 515) and popups (899, 878, 542) confuse gecko
  • memory (860)
  • gmail gives warnings about scripts executing because the machine is so slow. Need to increase that timeout.

Writing

  • Crashes when opening a document (824, 762)
  • Pointer too small (822), flashes (823)
  • Various other miscellanious bugs (826, 771, 764, 763, 761)
  • Open and save buttons in abiword.
  • File browser opens onto / (Bug 404, which needs reopening)
  • Size the file pickers sanely
  • Some theme tweaking for the olpc display.

Sugar

  • Fix frame activation on edge. We are ctivating even when it's 5 pixels far from the edge atm. (This should be fixed as of 3/5/07 -- Owen Williams)
  • Do some quick user testing with the fixed edge activation. If it still doesn't work disable it for Trial1.
  • When you launch an activity, the frame should go away once the activity comes up.
  • Fix the startup notification implementation. Always go back to homepage.
  • Do some quick user testing, if better startup notification is not enough, do not allow launching more than one instance of the same activity contemporarily.

Open questions

  • What is the use case of an open button in xbook?
  • Should we really support rotation for Trial1?
  • I'm not convinced we need tables in abiword
  • Should we try to land ps2 and write a simple chat based on it?
  • Frame undiscoverability. Not much we can do about it, other then teaching.

Bugs that might be fixed already

  • DPI related (Bug 889)
  • Correct country typefaces being loaded? (Bug 417)

Bugs that maybe we don't need to fix

  • configuration directory needs stable name (Bug 847)
  • mozilla cache (29)
