Current status
- Targeted release: (0.88)
- Last updated: (2009 Nov 24)
- Percentage of completion: 1%
Detailed Description
In order to support deployements activities the standard SOAS image should allow a limited degree of personalization for basic settings.
This page would be the start of a documentation effort aimed to document those basic interfaces:
Benefit to Sugar
- to ease the personalization efforts from field organizations
- to avoid regression issues related to personalization done in the wrong places
- to ease peacefully coexistance between personalization needs and bugfixing/support activities
Scope
Actually will be mostly a documentation effort - no impact on code in this phase.
How To Test
Features/SoaS customization/Testing
User Experience
Users will have the opportunity to work in their native language from the initial experience of Sugar rather than having to initially wade through English-language menus.
Dependencies
None
Contingency Plan
If we don't complete this feature, it can be left out. Nothing else depends upon it.
