Predefined components
- rings switch
- activities list
- clipboard
- users list
- sources list
- network component
- notification area
Benefit to Sugar
- let users more freedom to organize sugar shell how they want
- provide to activity developers a way to integrate theirs activities to shell UI(useful for activities that work in background and requires some kind all-time-present indicator in UI)
- having stable API for panel components, activity developers have more freedom and aren't stuck to core releases e.g. Network activity/component(analog of NM widget in GNOME) could support several sugar releases and previous release sugar users will benefit from last Network component.
- previous sugar release users will benefit from last updates of predefined components as well
