User:Godiard/Touch plan activities

• I divided the activities in 3 groups:

High priority:

• Touch support in this activities is very visible,

and we need it working great.

Low Priority:

• Touch events are not so important here, but we need verify

the screen scales ok when the osk keyboard is visible, and the osk appear when needed.

Out:

• Should be great have this activities ported/support touch,

but is out of our posibilities for this cycle.

The bad news:

We cant "STOP PORTING ACTIVITIES NOW", because a few of our top priority activities are not ported yet:

   Calculate (Gary)
   FotoToon (Gonzalo)
   Labyrinth (Manuq?)
   Memorize (Gonzalo)
   Physics (Gary)
   Record (Daniel)
   Write (Gonzalo)

From this group, Calculate, FotoToon and Memorize should be easy to port.

I propose the following plan:

• Release this week all the activities we have ported this week. We need detect

regressions and missing parts in the toolkit/artwork.

• Take 2 more weeks to port the important activities, and push external maintainers.

Probably we will not finish with all the top priorities list, but we will be closer.

• Start to implement the touch support in paralell.

• If we detect important regresions in the low priority activities,

we will ship the gtk2 version, and keep the gtk3 port in a branch.

• We need testing images ASAP, with gtk3 rpms.
