There are some differences in opinion around how sugar should support content -- it's probably worth digging up the old discussions. Myself and some others feel that Sugar should have content support at its core, rather than as an activity. Here are some design notes we came up with a while back: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Content_support#Accessing_content_from_home_screen -DanielDrake 16:52, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Record

  • Rework the UI

(2 weeks)

Add/Remove Activities

  • We need define what new activities can be included.

A first review I did is here http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Godiard/Activities_for_F14#Interesting_Activities_in_ASLO but we need feedback from people with pedagogical / selling perspective.

General

  • New toolbar in all the activities

Simple: Typing Turtle, Words, StopWatch, Help, Jukebox, Distance, InfoSlicer, Record, Maze, GetBooks, Finance, Complex: Memorize, TamTam*, Paint, Colors

(3/4 weeks)

Translations

  • Have the L11N infrastructure right, and do a call to translators, and communicate / promote / give credit properly.
  • Define a time lapse to translations in our plans. (Probably we can use M4 and M5)
