What I am trying to Achieve:
and then we'll start with that to figure out what needs to be done (codewise, maintainer-poking wise, etc) to accomplish what you want the feature to do.
: '''An enhanced "start new" screen for sugar.browse in the fedora.spin-soas v4.''' It should have a added customizable link and possibly Graphic Elements Suitable for '''SoaS v4 Mango Lassi'''
===Ideas from Soas #sugar-meeting: 06/14/2010===
This is a better idea of what I am trying to accomplish here satellit 06/14/2010'''
*Idea Crystallization credits to mchua:, mtd and others.
* This is the second idea we discussed
'''Proposed custom default page for SoaS v4 Mango Lassi'''
:: '''Summary: add new link 'Introduction:-Mango Lassi' inserted to the left of the existing 5 links.'''
:::The Use of a customized introduction page on the wiki is a part of this proposal.
'''List of proposed links (left to right)'''
# '''Introduction:-Mango Lassi'''
::Link to Custom wiki page
::Special page on wiki with Needed Materials for using Soas-v4-Mango Lassi
:::This is a way for teachers and users to access information from the wiki and other pertinent web sites.
::: Uses this link: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Talk:Sugar_Creation_Kit#Introduction_to_Soas-v3_Mirabelle - This will change for v-4 '''THIS IS A SAMPLE ONLY'''

*06/21/2010 soas meeting:
* Make ASLOxo a separate Proposal
* pbrobinson likes destination page now for Intro to Mirabelle
* Must go into GIT for testing
* In Git: http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/browse/repos/satellits_clone_browse_homepage/logs/master

* Email: satellit@bendbroadband.com
======older Comments======
* mtd: a customizable start page exists.
*This is the first thing a SoaS user will see when the Sugar web browser is launched. This is a critically important page. I don't think we should accept anything until these groups have looked at it:
* Targeted release: SoaS_v4_Feature
:Existing SoaS deployments
:Other sugar deployments
:SL Marketing
:Fedora Marketing (not sure if this is applicable)
At least as much thought should go into changing the page as went into creating it in the first place.

[15:29:57] <mchua> #agreed Browse start page feature accepted - mchua is the feature sponsor
[15:30:17]
[root@localhost ~]# cp /home/liveuser/Modified-Browse.html /usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/data/index.html
[15:30:40] <mchua> #info Implementation: genericize patch, push to upstream Browse, edit wiki pages it links to - use this as an example of the feature process, as it's simple but an obvious change
[15:30:51]
[root@localhost ~]#
[15:31:01] <mchua> hm, "clearly visible and easily to understand" is probably better than "obvious" but anyway...
[15:31:24] <mchua> satellit__: so go ahead and move it to the "accepted" section of the features list, and let me know when you're going to be in Portland and we'll sit down and work on it then.
== Detailed Description ==
== Detailed Description ==
'''In a discussion with Peter Robinson last night I discovered that a custom Browse bookmark can be downloaded from the fedora repository. I propose to use this "Feature" to allow a custom set of bookmarts to be maintained that would have a series of links ie: e-books; Floss Manuals; wiki.sugarlabs.org, all of the proposed links to files in SugarCreationKit DVD + The NormalBrowse Google Screen'''
'''In a discussion with Peter Robinson, I discovered that a custom bookmark Browse.rpm can be downloaded from the fedora repository.
* I propose we use this fact to add a link on the startup page to a Customized Introductory page on the wiki for Soas with links to:
# Instructions
# Compatable Activities
# Installation Methods
# Floss Manuals
# Pertinent links to pages on wiki.sugarlabs.org
# Artwork -DVD/CD Covers etc
# e-books (?)
# Other sources of information (blogs/web sites etc)?
*This should be a simple edit in Browse to point to file:///usr/share/bookmarks/default-bookmarks.html instead of file:///usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/data/index.html.
*This should be a simple edit in Browse to point to file:///usr/share/bookmarks/default-bookmarks.html instead of file:///usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/data/index.html.
This allows a number of custom startup screens depending on the deployment or a schools requirements for Soas v4
Bernie has such a revised startup screen in his os240py software for the XO-1
===This is the Proposed start screen===
* Use the existing Browse start screen and just insert one Custom Link '''Introduction:Soas_Mango_Lassi'''
::CLICK THIS LINK TO TEST: http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/index14.html
:: This example will be changed when Mango Lassi becomes available
* This looks like the most acceptable Idea
* '''Discussion with mchua 06/16/2010 on #Sugar-meeting'''
# I need to start a Git account
# Make proposed changes in Git to file http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/browse/repos/mainline/blobs/master/data/index.html
'''Suggestions on just what content should be included on this screen must be determined from discussions on the lists.'''
* The Customized Browse index-html will be used for the build of the Browse.appliance in the v4 Soas-spin.
