7. Simon Schampijer convened a meeting of the design team to discuss a number of open-ended design issues for Sugar 0.88. The most hotly debated topic has been the question of how to best accommodate both 'start new' and 'resume' on the Home View. Part of the contention has been a lack of consensus regarding the role of the Home View vs. the Journal in resuming Activities. A seemingly reasonable compromise has been reached—although we will have to do some thorough testing before pushing the change. The gist of the compromise is to make the Journal a permanent part of the Home View—thus more accessable—a change that has merit in itself. Gary Martin has made some mock-up images as a means of visualizing the ideas beening discussed (See [[:File:Home_mockup_with_journal_icon_and_start_new_default_1.png|1]] and [[:File:Home_mockup_with_journal_icon_and_start_new_default_2.png|2]]).
