== 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.
