~~=== Network Zoom ===~~

Network Zoom levels only for projects might be, eg, not trivial to have Zoom levels for any kinds of resources, eg, every wiki page or every Gallery object at the same time, having levels only Projects might simplify the usage workflow as well.

* Friends level was removed since it will be hard to implement it technically, at least in current design. --[[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 04:40, 17 December 2011 (EST)

Project's Objectives have two faces, one simple for users and one for Project developers.

Once an object have been selected by the player, he should be able to filter any type of contributions according to its ratings. --[[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 19:36, 18 December 2011 (EST)

Leaving responsibility to the viewer is a good tradeoff to avoid overcomplicated workflows but definitely it needs custom moderation, e.g., by teachers. --[[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 14:41, 14 December 2011 (EST)

Would be useful to add removable devices, e.g., USB sticks, to Zoom level selector. The reason is browsing Projects that are located on this removable device. For example it might be Sugar activities or Wiki Projects to activate them right from this removable device. --[[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 04:47, 17 December 2011 (EST)

== Network Zoom ==

A basic conception that should allow the Sugar Network to better scale depending of Player's purpose. The Network Zoom levels are similar to The [[Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Laptop_Experience/Zoom_Metaphor|Shell Zoom levels]] (only the first three levels) and describe exactly the current ''zooming'' level of Sugar Network from an observer point of view. There are three Network Zoom levels:

* Worldwide, the whole Network;

* Neighborhood, accessible only if observer connected not to global server, e.g., to the one localed in school;

* Private, observer himself.

The whole Contexts are associated with particular Zoom level, i.e., can be visible only on this particular level and all levels below. This level is also applied to all of the Context's resources.

Network Zoom levels only for projects might be, eg, not trivial to have Zoom levels for any kinds of resources, eg, every wiki page or every Gallery object at the same time, having levels only Projects might simplify the usage workflow as well. Friends level was removed since it will be hard to implement it technically, at least in current design. --[[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 04:40, 17 December 2011 (EST)

Might be not obvious when people work via the Internet. The clean separation can be done only for "Network vs. Private (objects on local user's machine)". --[[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 09:11, 2 January 2012 (EST)

== Clouds ==

The one of problems in the field is a [[Features/Smart_Objects|lack]] of storage space on students' XOs. The Sugar Network might be treated as a cloud to keep all/some Journal objects, that relate to particular Context, on the server side.
