(As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (July 6-13); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.'''

* Webified SSB can load a website (hello world)

: Requires:

:: + getting more familiar with Sugar and Browse code

* Both Browse and Webified SSB can use GMail in offline mode (through Gears)

* Browse (with its utility extension) can successfully "sugarize" GMail and the resulting activity works.

: Requires:

:: + activity template as host for the Webified SSB

:: # activity template as host for the Webified SSB

::: '''Week 3'''

:: + python tool that packages up activities, using the activity template

:: # python tool that packages up activities, using the activity template

::: '''Week 3, at worst 4'''

:: + button in Browse that uses the python tool

:: # button in Browse that uses the python tool

::: '''Week 4'''

* JavaScript from inside a Webified SSB can call dbus stuff

* Webified SSB can save and restore its state with the Journal.

: Save & restore the browser state. possibilities:

:: ~~- just save the URL. It may be slower to resume and in fact loses some state, but it should be enough for most cases.~~

:: # Browse does this

~~:: - save the HTML structure. May have trouble with running scripts.~~

~~:: - pickle the WebView. I'm not sure it works, but it may be the easiest way~~

: Save & restore Gears state

:: + do nothing. Gears provides resuming state. The only real drawback is that only the latest version will be available to resume. No actual data would be stored in the Journal.

:: # do nothing. Gears provides resuming state. The only real drawback is that only the latest version will be available to resume. No actual data would be stored in the Journal.

:: - save the entire Gears profile. Could be very slow for large profiles.

:: - save just the sqlite ~~database~~. Could be very slow for large databases (GMail).

:: - save just the sqlite databases. Could be very slow for large databases (GMail).

* Build a JavaScript-side API for basic functionality that cannot be achieved easily with HTML and Gears

: - similar in concept to [http://fluidapp.com/developer/ Fluid's], but tailored for Sugar.

: - similar in concept to [http://fluidapp.com/developer/ Fluid's], but tailored for Sugar. Based on the javascript-dbus bridge

~~: - based~~ on the javascript-dbus bridge

* Webified SSB can run a userscript (GreaseMonkey)

: + should be as easy as injecting some JavaScript in the page

Line 92:

Line 90:

: - there will be instructions for how to add/remove userscripts

* Webified SSB can use a userstyle (CSS)

: + a user stylesheet can be made in data/style.user.css

: # a user stylesheet can be made in data/style.user.css

: + there's a GUI for it
