Project Planning

Use Cases

This is a list of ways we'll support Soas installation and their status. TODO: replace with a flow chart!

Sugar:

1. From a hard disk:
   1. Local booting with storage - implemented via various distros
   2. Local booting with external storage - unimplemented, students would insert their SoaS stick and it would load their data off it and optionally update their stick's software to the latest image
2. On a stick:
   1. Mobile booting using USB Boot support in BIOS - implemented
   2. Mobile booting using ISO helper CDs - implemented
   3. Mobile emulation - unimplemented
   4. Combination of booting and emulation - unimplemented

Install Methods

1. Windows/Mac/Linux
   1. LiveUSB creator script - implemented
2. Windows
   1. SoaS-emu - installer for a soas appliance on the local machine - work in progress
   2. MokaFive portable player installer - investigating
3. Other
   1. LiveCD which creates USB sticks - idea

Initial Home View Activities

Discussion of which Activities should be visible on initial display of the Home view is appropriate here. See this sugar-devel thread for the background.
