| |
| − | * better naming of files to be uploaded [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/901 #901](change temp name to something based on the title)
| |
| − | * uploading (above) is also dependent on filenames being preserved on download [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/899 #899]

| |
| − | * backwards compability
| |
| − | * (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/sugar-port will take care for the activities needs for a working activity on 0.82 for example) see "Decoupling of Sucrose" section [[User:Alsroot|Alsroot]] 16:16, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
| |
| − | * (?) start moving to pure dbus interface for glucose
| |
| − | ** dbus method to resume/open activities(instead of sugar-toolkit API)
| |
| − | *** something simple like dbus_object.activate(uid) or
| |
| − | ** etc.
| |
| − | * Owner/Coordinator: Aleksey
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Decoupling of Sucrose ====
| |
| − | The major idea is to have tough core(with stable release cycle) <=> dbus-API/sugar-toolkit-API(in ideal only dbus) <=> unlimited count of activities that uses core functionality and do not follow 6 months release cycle(which could be overmuch for activity).
| |
| − | | |
| − | It could looks like:
| |
| − | * '''core''' - glucose, six months(or so) release cycle, w/o any activities, only API
| |
| − | ** in ideal, it should have only dbus API
| |
| − | * '''bridge''' - [[Development_Team/sugar-port|sugar-port]] for example, between all(in ideal) already deployed sugars and activities i.e. it provides backwards compatibility(so the same activity code will work on all sugars) and at the same time provides features from newest sugar(so the same activity code will use last sugar's features)
| |
| − | ** we could write this level in vala to provide core functionality for wide range of programming languages
| |
| − | * '''world''' - the rest of sugar world i.e. fructose/honey (but now there are no differences between them) that use core directly, if all deployed sugars have the same API for desired functionality(for example in case of preselected mime type, ObjectsChooser has different API for 0.82-0.86), or use bridge otherwise.<br>imho another point to have activities outside of core release cycle - activities have more shorter release cycle then core has
| |
| − | | |
| − | And of course deployers can form any sets from these components
| |
| − | | |
| − | Core Bridge World

| − | ==== Version support for datastore ====
| |
| − | See [[Version_support_for_datastore/Proposal]].
| |
| − | * Owner/Coordinator: Silbe
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Datastore features that could benefit Library ====
| |
| − | These features can benefit [[Activities/Library]] activity. At present(for 0.82/0.84) Library uses "rich" datastore client which fetches all Journal objects to make short list of objects(by collapsing all versions to one item), moreover it has to unzip .xo bundles to get ''bundle_id'' value. So its not good.
| |
| − | | |
| − | With all these features implemented Library can use "thin" datastore client and not fetch all objects, just make proper request for datasotre.find() to get sorted and collapsed objects by portions (by using offset/limit find() arguments).
| |
| − | | |
| − | <strong>find() returns only last versions of journal objects</strong>
| |
| − | | |
| − | So, all objects should be grouped by "object_id" which could be:
| |
| − | * ''activity_id'' for objects that were generated by activities
| |
| − | * ''bundle_id'' for .xo bundles in the Journal
| |
| − | * ''uid'' for other objecets
| |
| − | | |
| − | <strong>Sort find()'s resultset</strong>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Let datastore clients sort objects by any field(not only predefined like uid, activity_id etc).
| |
| − | * Sort by buddies count</strong>
| |

| − | ==== Security ====
| |
| − | [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/593 Add support] for the current version of [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rainbow Rainbow] so
| |
| − | # security flaws in Browse (which are the norm rather than the exception) don't allow an attacker to take over the machine and
| |
| − | # programming mistakes cannot affect other activities (like deleting all Journal contents).
| |
| − | * Owner/Coordinator: ?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Testing ====
| |
| − | Add some automated testing to catch bugs earlier and ease integration work:
| |
| − | * [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/594 SugarBot] (activity-level testing)
| |
| − | * some system-level tests (e.g. verify datastore works correctly)
| |
| − | * [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/595 regression tests]
| |
| − | * Owner/Coordinator: ?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Activities updates ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Let users update theirs activities.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There could be several options:
| |
| − | * Use XO's mechanism to have update item in control panel(pretty common choice)
| |
| − | ** we will have specific option - update only activities
| |
| − | * Follow [[Unified Objects]] paradigm, one of implementation of this idea is [[Activities/Library]], so give user more freedom in upgrading procedure(i.e. w/o ceilings) - incorporate updating procedure into browsing tool(like Journal, Library), so users get one unified method to browse and update(sync) theirs objects(not only activities).
| |
| − | ** in case of [[Activities/Library]] we could have 0.82+ upgrading tool
| |
| − | | |
| − | Owner/Coordinator: ?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Edit on clipboard ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Add limited edit capability to text on the clipboard
| |
| − | * Owners/Coordinators: Walter and Lucian
| |
| − | * See [[Features/Edit-panel-on-Frame]]
| |

| − | === Old items ===

| − | ==== Accessibility ====

| − | * See [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-April/013665.html]
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Bundles ====
| |
| − | * [[Unified Bundles]] merge .xol bundles to .xo
