Would be useful to add removable devices, e.g., USB sticks, to Zoom level selector. The reason is browsing Projects that are located on this removable device. For example it might be Sugar activities or Wiki Projects to activate them right from this removable device. --[[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 04:47, 17 December 2011 (EST)

== Network Zoom ==
A basic conception that should allow the Sugar Network to better scale depending of Player's purpose. The Network Zoom levels are similar to The [[Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Laptop_Experience/Zoom_Metaphor|Shell Zoom levels]] (only the first three levels) and describe exactly the current ''zooming'' level of Sugar Network from an observer point of view. There are three Network Zoom levels:
* Worldwide, the whole Network;
* Neighborhood, accessible only if observer connected not to global server, e.g., to the one localed in school;
* Private, observer himself.
The whole Contexts are associated with particular Zoom level, i.e., can be visible only on this particular level and all levels below. This level is also applied to all of the Context's resources.
Might be not obvious when people work via the Internet. The clean separation can be done only for "Network vs. Private (objects on local user's machine)". --[[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 09:11, 2 January 2012 (EST)
