Sugar on a Stick/Proposals
Project Home · Get Involved · Contacts · Resources · FAQ · Roadmap · To Do · Meetings
Note: Proposals for the Sugar learning platform design are found at these pages, Design Team/Proposals, Features. See also 0.114/Roadmap. A feature should be suggested here if it solely concerns Sugar on a Stick. If it affects the broader implementation or requires concrete work on Sugar itself, it should be listed as a Sugar feature. Sugar features can and will obviously be part of Sugar on a Stick, though!
Sugar on a Stick is a class of distributions of the Sugar learning platform that enables installation on removable and writable media like Live USB or Secure Digital cards.
Firstboot Inclusion
Description: Firstboot allows the user to select his keyboard layout and to submit his hardware information at the first time he boots.
Owner: Sebastian Dziallas
Completion: 35% (target: beta release)
Benefit: The feature allows the user to specify his settings directly at boot time and improves because of that his overall experience.
Scope: Mostly the implementation itself will need to be tested. If needed, we will also need to work out language selection.
Contigency Plan: Remove firstboot again and hint at settings in the control panel!

Live Install Support
Description: Users should be able to install SoaS to their hard drive directly through running an activity.
Owner: Sebastian Dziallas
Completion: 20% (activity needs to be written)
Benefit: Interested users wishing not always to port their USB key with them will be able to start SoaS directly from their hard drive without needed an USB key.
Scope: Anaconda will need to be included and somehow called from within an activity. Sugarization is not necessarily needed.
Contingency Plan: Remove anaconda again and list installation as an unsupported method in SoaS!
