Proposed Features for 0.96
These features have been proposed for the Sugar 0.96 Release cycle and await approval.
| Owner | Name | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Gonzalo Odiard | Global Text to Speech | When the user press Alt+Shift+S the currently selected text should be said by the computer. |
| Walter Bender | Features/Write_to_journal_anytime | Replacement for the Naming Alert that lets you write to the Journal at any time while working on an activity. |
| Gonzalo Odiard | Features/Journal_data_tagged_private_or_public | Provide a way to identify Journal entries as private for the owner or public. |
| Walter Bender | Features/Multiple_home_views | Option to have different collections of activities on the Home View for formal (classroom) and informal (home) use. |
| Walter Bender | Features/Thumbs_View_in_Journal | Thumbs view plugin for Journal. |
| Walter Bender | Features/Background_image_on_home_view | Add the ability to set a background image to the Home View. |
| Walter Bender | Features/Journal_Volume_Toolbar_enhancement | The VolumesToolbar class in volumetoolbar.py should be extended so that Sugar activities can "mount" directories containing example projects, e.g., the samples subdirectory in Turtle Art. Thus samples will be available through the Sugar Chooser rather than having to use the GNOME file chooser. |
| Walter Bender | Features/Activity_specific_metadata_in_Journal | The idea is to record metadata related to the use of an activity and display it in the detail view of the Journal. |
| Sebastian Silva | Features/Statistics_gathering | To gather usage statistics in separate logs from error logs (up to a storage limit). The software improvement process requires usage statistics data to learn from our users. |
| Anish Mangal, Aleksey Lim | Features/Proxy_configuration | To add a section in the Control Panel that allows the user to configure network proxy settings. |
