So I hope everyone else sticks their necks out and says what features they want, what the use cases are and what they think their relative importance are. Then we can narrow our focus back down to what we can do for September.

Parking this e-mail here until I can analyze it and break it out in to features. [[User:Gregorio|Gregorio]] 14:24, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

For the fall - here is a brainstorm
- Reliably working on the Macbooks in the laptop cart.
- Faster user setup.
-Easier setup in the computer lab - We can try upgrading the BIOS and see if
we can get it to boot directly from USB. We could have a floppy boot helper
that could just stay with the computer.
- Communication plan for helping people to get their sugar sticks to boot at
home
-More robust sticks, I think there is a ticket in on the goes to user login
but with no user name but we've seen on a few sticks now.
I think the 4 items above will all be much easier if we are using a stick
format where you can see the files rather then one squash image file. there
is at least one ticket in for that. I'd like some technical opinions on
that, but my sense is the underlying reformat of the stick is what should be
to top priority item.
-Prettier reboot. Reboot takes you to a nonsugar screen where you have to
press return when it says user name is liveuser. Sometimes it fails
completely as above.
-Grouping collaboration by class on the jabber server (clearly this is for
after we goto Jabber based collaboration.)
-Teacher collecting homework and assessing workflow. Right now it looks like
the fall early adopters will be doing a lot of writing so think of a student
writing an essay and the teacher being able to take all those essays home,
read and comment on them, and return them.
