== Summary ==
Add a new configuration to disable adhoc autoconnect policy.
== Owner ==
* Martin Abente Lahaye
== Current status ==
* Targeted release: 0.104
* Last updated: 02/09/2014
* Percentage of completion: 100%
== Detailed Description ==
''This proposal is based around the needs of the OLPC project in Australia, but reflects a common need (current or future) of other OLPC implementations as well.''
'''The problem:''' Having hundreds or thousands of sugar clients creating or connecting to these adhoc networks by default is not necessary a desirable behavior, specially considering that only a few of these could actually be using collaboration.
The proposed solution is to provide a way a configuration so this behavior can become optional and not mandatory as it is now.
== Benefit to Sugar ==
Make sure friendlier with the spectrum and save device battery.
== Scope and implementation ==
The implementation can be found in [https://github.com/tchx84/sugar/commit/46c78e4b4e1a92a157f33d635567577f5270dc35 here]. The changes are:
* include a new configuration to sugar settings.
* check this configuration value before auto-connecting.
This implementation will preserve the current behaviour by default. Deployment will be require to use the configuration in order to disable the auto connect policy.
== User Experience ==
User experienced is untouched.
