Line 1: − {{TOCright}}+ − + + + − − − suggestion from djhbrown: i'm not sure how to add a suggestion to the wiki so am doing it here - i'm a total newbie to xo/sugar and sorry to say i dont like many things about it. first off, i hoped it would be an obvious interface, which it isn't. it's not obvious to a 5yo or a 63yo like me, that is. i get the feeling that what you have is entrenched in developers' minds and maybe even some see it as a branded style which they wont want to be totally changed. − − here are some of the issues i feel non-geek users are presented with: − 1. the interface is not intuitive. the icons are non-obvious, the list view is unnecessarily stretched out, the circle view is going to get worse as more apps are added to it, the huge cursor just gets in the way, + 100 other things − 2. of all the interfaces in the world, xo sugar for kids is the one that most needs to require no tuition to use. but it's anything but that. − − where is the discussion forum for design principles? where is the forum for user (ie kids and their teachers) feedback? why doesnt sugar have 2 separate environments; one for kids and one for teachers - they have different needs. teachers need guidelines, kids need suggestions on what they can do. − − is sugar unable to run any of the other wonderful K12 stuff produced outside oplc? why isnt that included?

The home view would always have a (filtered) set of activities in a ring around the center The default filter would be "favorite". The current filter would be indicated in the search box and in the center of the ring.

(I'm not satisfied with the "superimposed over xo icon" idea; it would probably be better to replace the center icon completely. But then the default view would have a star in the center, which is not as good for branding.)
