== Ideas ==
''these are leftovers from the main page - please use the new feature process [[Features/Policy]] for those as well.''

=== On-disk icon cache ===

Cache pre-rendered svg icons on disk.

* Owner/Coordinator: Benzea

=== Browse ===
* Lucian: SSB (Site specific browsing) - http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Webified
* bookmarks (global bookmarks, at the moment we only have session bookmarks and the auto-completion functionality) - needed by SSB
* better naming of files to be uploaded [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/901 #901](change temp name to something based on the title)
* uploading (above) is also dependent on filenames being preserved on download [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/899 #899]
* export for offline viewing (Web page - HTML only, Web page - Complete)
* creating of web pages (highlighting support in Write, Activity with special HTML based features(can happen outside of the official cycle))
* fix theme (scroll-bars [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/805 #805], [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1067 #1067], html form widgets - Gary)
* Owner/Coordinator: Simon

=== More Accelerators (short cuts) ===
* make sure we use the standard accelerator UI where possible for existing bindings, get discussion about which modifiers might be worth changing/adding/removing
* [[Design_Team/Proposals/Keyboard_Action]]
* Owner/Coordinator: Homunq?

=== Printing support ===
* [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Print_Support Google summer of code project]
* Owner/Coordinator: IwikiwI 

=== Search in home view ===
* The search is recently builds disabled
* Owner/Coordinator: ?

=== Collaboration ===
* Scalable presence service - Integrate gadget in the Sugar UI [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7711 #7711]
* Make collaboration more stable
* Owner/Coordinator: Tomeu/Simon

=== Groups ===
* Tagging buddies to build up relations, tagging can happen by a teacher tagging a class or the learner can tag himself
* Owner/Coordinator: Kartik Rustagi
* [[Tagging_Proposal|Proposal]]

=== Bindings ===
* [http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Bindings Vala bindings] for the toolkit
** (?) we could write [[#Decoupling of Sucrose]]/'''bridge''' level on vala i.e. use for '''core''' only dbus API and provide bride level in vala binding [[User:Alsroot|Alsroot]] 06:15, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
* Owner/Coordinator: Tomeu

=== Dictionary support in the shell ===
* [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-May/014217.html Dictionary Proposal]
* Owner/Coordinator: Sayamindu

=== CP - Language in native language ===
* link to ticket here
* Owner/Coordinator: Sayamindu

=== TA ===
* de-couple the portfolio from the base TA
* revive TA with Sensors (requires revisiting RPM issues re multiple architectures)
* Owner/Coordinator: Walter

=== Honey ===
* repackage Measure
:: Owner/Coordinator: ???
* add Open Office for Children
:: Owner/Coordinator: ???
* add a video editing activity
:: Owner/Coordinator: ???

=== Activities external to Sugar ===
launch activities outside of Sugar
:: Owner/Coordinator: ???

=== integration with new Collabora code ===

=== on-the-fly i18n support ===
Let users translate strings and push them back to Pootle
* as per C Scott's demo from Sugar Camp 2008-11
:: Owner/Coordinator: ???

=== Read Activity ===

* Bookmarks support
** Owner: Sayamindu
** Status: 75% complete (bookmarks work - support adding notes to them is pending)
* Epub Support
** Owner: Sayamindu
** Status: 80% complete (Epub files are fully viewable. Changes to webkit needs to be upstreamed)
* Long keypress support
** Owner: Sayamindu
** Status: 50% complete (proof of concept code ready, needs integration into Read codebase, and one patch for Xlib needs to go upstream)

=== ImageViewer Activity ===
* Image sharing support (as in Read)
** Owner: Sayamindu
** Status: Complete


=== Version support for datastore ===
See [[Version_support_for_datastore/Proposal]].
* Owner/Coordinator: Silbe

=== Datastore features that could benefit Library ===
These features can benefit [[Activities/Library]] activity. At present(for 0.82/0.84) Library uses "rich" datastore client which fetches all Journal objects to make short list of objects(by collapsing all versions to one item), moreover it has to unzip .xo bundles to get ''bundle_id'' value. So its not good.

With all these features implemented Library can use "thin" datastore client and not fetch all objects, just make proper request for datasotre.find() to get sorted and collapsed objects by portions (by using offset/limit find() arguments).

<strong>find() returns only last versions of journal objects</strong>

So, all objects should be grouped by "object_id" which could be:
* ''activity_id'' for objects that were generated by activities
* ''bundle_id'' for .xo bundles in the Journal
* ''uid'' for other objecets

<strong>Sort find()'s resultset</strong>

Let datastore clients sort objects by any field(not only predefined like uid, activity_id etc).
* Sort by buddies count</strong>

* Owner/Coordinator: ?

=== Security ===
[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/593 Add support] for the current version of [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rainbow Rainbow] so 
# security flaws in Browse (which are the norm rather than the exception) don't allow an attacker to take over the machine and
# programming mistakes cannot affect other activities (like deleting all Journal contents).
* Owner/Coordinator: ?

=== Testing ===
Add some automated testing to catch bugs earlier and ease integration work:
* [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/594 SugarBot] (activity-level testing)
* some system-level tests (e.g. verify datastore works correctly)
* [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/595 regression tests]
* Owner/Coordinator: ?

=== Old items ===

==== Accessibility ====
* See [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-April/013665.html]

==== Bundles ====
* [[Unified Bundles]] merge .xol bundles to .xo
