-= Medium to long term Sugar plans =
-== The goals ==
-* Make it hard to lose work accidentally
-* Make it safer to run potentially untrusted or buggy code
-* Make Sugar easier and better to customise by users so they "feel at home" and work more efficiently
-* Attract developers
-* Increase interoperability with non-Sugar systems and parts thereof
-* Accessibility
-* real Single Sign On
-== The means ==
-* Modularise Sugar core so users / developers can mix-and-match
-** split the "zoom levels" into separate modules
-*** on low memory systems (XO-1) a single executable handles all zoom levels by default
-*** on all other systems there are separate executables
-*** replacing a single (or multiple) zoom level(s) with alternative implementations possible
-*** bugs in one zoom level don't affect the others
-*** shared UI framework uses GTK instead of HippoCanvas, icon view allows Neighbourhood-like searching and list view allows Home View-like searching
-** split out the Journal
-*** let user "bless" an activity to provide the special services (switch to Details View, Object Chooser)
-** split out the Frame
-** activity.info -> .desktop, activity and non-activity .desktop launcher on home screen
-** use XDG start-up notification instead of custom protocol
-* Rainbow
-** run each activity / application in a separate session, identifiable and killable from the Frame
-*** show "activity start failed" screen if all processes finished (rainbow-run returns) before start-up notification has indicated the activity is running
-*** if start-up notification times out, show "activity start failed" screen with option to wait a bit longer or abort
-*** kill remaining processes on failure (timeout)
-*** keep activities in Frame until all processes have exited
-*** add option to kill session (i.e. all remaining processes) to Frame
-** "legacy sessions": start XDG applications in a session as describe above
-*** full X session including window manager, using VNC
-*** replace GTK file chooser dialog with Object Chooser invocation
-*** set $HOME to temporary directory, save & restore the contents on Stop resp. resume
-*** kills off window manager and "standard" daemons (e.g. gconf) after application returned
-* Replace copy of gnome-session with configuration files for and dependency on latest gnome-session (add link to Gnome bugzilla ticket)
-* Version support
-** eventually integrated with in-activity Undo/Redo
-* gpg-agent and/or gnome-keyring
-** in-Frame pinentry (allow/deny request, password optional) highlighting the activity (isolated session) that requested the operation
-** automatic "log-in" to (SL, XS) web sites using client "certificate" (server extracts public key and uses it for identification/authentication, supports multiple keys per account)
-* Telepathy client changes
-** interoperability with non-Sugar Telepathy clients
-** Account Manager (blessed activity or control panel section)
-*** Salut account added by default, but deactivatable
-*** not sure how exactly to handle it, but we should support registering to multiple XSs and require only a single UI interaction for doing so (add Jabber account automatically, but deactivatable like all others)
-== TODO ==
-* Add "The benefits" section
-* point out which goals have progress metrics that are cheap to measure
