Ready to upstream
Change the method to add new actitivities in the activities list in home view (Jorge Saldivar)
This patch seems o.k but needs to be updated to latest sugars.
https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1660 (in comment). [dirakx follow-up]
Database support for 3G control panel (Andrés Ambrois)
Need design review patch
http://git.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/mainline/blobs/bleeding-edge/rpms/sugar/0042-Database-support-for-3G-control-panel.patch [anish. pflores: discuss need with AU]
Add lease duration information in about my computer (Anish Mangal)
We need check xo-1.75 compatibility

[anish, almost ready]
Globalkey for touchpad device icon (Martin Abente)
Must be upstreamable,.especify for only 1.0. to check deviceicon/touchpad.py for specific path and verify hotkey <alt-m> ??
http://git.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/mainline/blobs/bleeding-edge/rpms/sugar/0040-Globalkey-for-touchpad-device-icon.patch [anish, ready, need to publish on sugar-devel]
Post GTK3 port
Notas:We nend to add new functionality to the pallete in order to allow max widht and add widgets instead of only text.
Better to do in gtk3 port, this patch its a hack.
Set default scaling to 100 (unknown author)
in GTK3 is going to be possible to set scale with other units than pixels. like CSS. We must see Gnome bugs..and ask Carlos Garnacho. [anish?]
Need follow feature process
Notification enhancements (Martin Abente)
Patch not found, prepare a feature request, comments in link:
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Notification_system_draft
To review actual state in regard to GTK3.
[anish, ask on sugar-devel if porting to gtk3 first. Goal: having design discussed in sugar-devel and the feature upstream]
Yum-updater notifications integration (Aleksey Lim)
Needs to be investigated and use package kit instead of yum.
to acoount integration debian or other service. Use ubuntu-fedora related implementations.
[anish, depends on Notification enhancements]
Extend sugar-launch with more options (Martin Abente)
We need to make a feature page for that, the change its simple but its needs discussion.
https://patchwork.sugarlabs.org/patch/594/
[anish?]
Add font dpi schema (Jorge Saldivar)
Needs to be analized for post - GTK3 and propose a features page.
Old feature page http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Font_configuration
[anish?]
Journal Backup / Restore (Martin Abente)
Redo feature page and analyse if this can be done on the control panel.
Old: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Backup-restore
[pflores: Discuss with SL/OLPC how to upstream?. Checkout if UY is using it]
Need investigation regards New network manager versions, impleting share connection feature (for all kinds of connections), and needs desing for sugar interface experience.
First we need to apply: http://git.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/mainline/blobs/bleeding-edge/rpms/sugar/0036-Make-sure-Adhoc-is-Sugar-Adhoc.patch
Bug reference: https://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1028
[Ajay? -- Important for AU]
Memory and cpu resource indicator (Anish Mangal)
It needs to be re-designed. ? CPU cycles code must be tuned for ARM ?
Does this needs CPU cycles, suspend resume behavior?, Using it only with the fram is open.
[pflores: Discuss with UY feature updating. Discuss with SL/OLPC design decissions. anish checkout design discussions, can we upstream?]
Operations over multiple files in the journal
[discuss with olpc/sl]
Bugs to solve
Flickering and unknown icons in the window bar #870 (Aleksey Lim)
Needs review and testing to get it upstream, its an interesting bug to work.
New microformat activity updater (Anish Mangal)
https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10641
https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/11086
It hasn't been ported to sugar 0.94, OLPC had a patch in sugar-0.84 with this functionality.
Mixed bag
Accesibility Series
Doing patch separations., ruben to ask for feedback, separate and clean up tyhe patches.
More robust handling of unhandled exceptions (Aleksey Lim)
Patch not found. We need to review this one.
Enable to call the frame from arbitrary code avoiding circular imports (Aleksey Lim)
Not sure why this one is necessary. We should fix circular imports by refactoring rather than adding hacks to break the cycle.
Status unknow. What is the problem that this patch is trying to fix, bug fixes?
Low priority
Show register gconf value (Martin Abente)
ISTR the Design Team had an issue with this (or maybe just with another "Register" menu item related topic). We should restart discussions on this. From a UX perspective, it would be nice if we could automatically determine whether a School Server is available, rather than always showing the option and adding a crutch to disable it. There are privacy issues to consider (that are potentially shared with the existing code; see e.g. a discussion of the current security model). We need a link to discussion, why is this needed and what the problems are.
Feedback feature (Aleksey Lim, Mukesh Gupta)
New feature page, design dicussion.
needs new desing and analisis, follow: abrt, apport..and request how is it used in Paraguay. Low prioriy. Probably the best solution is taking it out.
Transfer to many
http://git.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/mainline/blobs/bleeding-edge/rpms/sugar/0105-uy-1769-1-to-N-Feature.patch (to be upstreamed after finishing all dx3 features upstream process)
