Sucrose Development

Sucrose 0.83.x is an unstable development series intended for testing and development purposes. Sucrose uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status, so this unstable 0.83.x series will eventually become the 0.84 stable release.

Goals

Please post your Ideas about features and bug fixes which are important for 0.84, especially if they are consistent with the above high level release goals.

Other features

Next generation journal
Journal entry sharing
Robust Clipboard
Make activities rock!
Shell improvements
Improving translation and localization support (multiple fallback languages, separable translation packs, "click to translate" in the UI) (cscott)
Revisiting "content bundles" -- the current API is a mess, doesn't match the documentation on the wiki, is inconsistent with the activity.info format, etc. I'd like to consider (a) merging content and activities -- a bundle ought to be able to have *both* library.info *and* an activity.info, (b) using a content format which is consistent with "offline internet" content -- more or less consider installing content files as pushing stuff into an offline cache, and (c) finally doing dynamic generation of the top-level "home" page so we don't need to run the indexer after installing content bundles. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/9.1.0#Suggestions_from_User:CScott (cscott)
nss-rainbow (mstone)
incrementally remove PS functionality
