Medium to long term Sugar plans
The goals
- Make it hard to loose work accidentally
- Make it safe 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
- split out the Journal
- let user "bless" an activity to provide the special services (switch to details view)
- split out the Frame
- activity.info -> .desktop, activity and non-activity .desktop launcher on home screen
- split the "zoom levels" into separate modules
- Replace copy of gnome-session with config files for and dependency on latest gnome-session (add link to Gnome bugzilla ticket)
- Version support
- eventually integrated with in-activity Undo/Redo
- Rainbow
- run each activity / application in a separate session, identifiable and killable from the Frame
- gpg-agent and/or gnome-keyring
- in-Frame pinentry, highlighting the activity (isolated session) that requested the operation
