Users oriented

The following features are oriented to end users

Sugar Network integration

By default, Sugar Shell looks the same as in pristine Glucose. To start using Sugar Network related improvements in Shell UI, go to Sweets Distribution component in Control Panel and enable integration checkbox and restart Sugar. After restarting, Sugar Network client will be available from activities tray and by F8 shortkey.

Deployment oriented

The following features are being targeted to Sugar distributors who create downstream solutions based on Sweets Distribution and experienced users who enable these features on their own risk.

  • Shell plugins
    Pluggable Sugar Shell code to extend current behavior. Factory repository provides the following plugins:
    • telepathy from sugar-telepathy-plugin package
      Alternative implementation of Neighborhood collaboration in Sugar Shell that is assumed to make Telepathy related code more robust.
    • sn from sugar-network-plugin package
      Plugin adds Sugar Network integration to Sugar Shell. It is also working example how to replace original sugar-datastore with new implementation.
    • client from sugar-client package
      Plugin to initiate various deployment related routines on end user side.
    • proxy from sugar-proxy-plugin package
      Internet proxy configuration.
  • Closer integration with login managers
    Sugar Shell will reuse language setting from GDM manager, #2603.

Default configuration changes

The following changes were made in default Sugar Shell configuration.

  • Registration on school servers is disabled by default
    Sugar Shell support registration on OLPC XS school server. Sweets Distribution does not provide OLPS XS and this functionality is disabled by default. To revert original behavior, set /desktop/sugar/show_register GConf key to true.
  • On initial Shell start, it asks for user nickname. To revert original behavior (when shell reuses system user name), set /desktop/sugar/user/default_nick GConf key to system.
