Sucrose Development

Sucrose 0.83.x is an unstable development series intended for testing and development purposes. Sucrose uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status, so this unstable 0.83.x series will eventually become the 0.84 stable release.

Goals

Other features

  • Next generation journal
  • Journal entry sharing
  • Robust Clipboard
  • Make activities rock!
  • Shell improvements
  • Improving translation and localization support (multiple fallback languages, separable translation packs, "click to translate" in the UI) (cscott)
  • Revisiting "content bundles" -- the current API is a mess, doesn't match the documentation on the wiki, is inconsistent with the activity.info format, etc. I'd like to consider (a) merging content and activities -- a bundle ought to be able to have *both* library.info *and* an activity.info, (b) using a content format which is consistent with "offline internet" content -- more or less consider installing content files as pushing stuff into an offline cache, and (c) finally doing dynamic generation of the top-level "home" page so we don't need to run the indexer after installing content bundles. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/9.1.0#Suggestions_from_User:CScott (cscott)
  • nss-rainbow (mstone)
  • incrementally remove PS functionality
