Detailed Description
We want to provide the base sugar desktop environment as well as some activities to allow further building upon the collaborative environment.
Users curious about the sugar interface can test out sugar either on an existing Fedora system, or with the live image.
Developers interested in working on the Sugar interface or writing activities can have a development platform without needing an XO laptop.
Benefit to Fedora
This helps to make it easier for OLPC to use Fedora bits as well as to advance the OLPC platform. By making Sugar more readily available, it is easier for users to play with it, become involved, and contribute back.
If a Fedora Sugar spin is an easy way to experience and develop sugar, it will introduce new users to Fedora as an operating system and the Fedora community.
Scope
- Build updated sugar packages
- Build useful sugar activities (list on the Wishlist of packages)
- Add a session for gdm to be able to choose Sugar as the login environment
Test Plan
Can select Sugar as an option on the gdm screen for your account, log in, and use Sugar. Will require the @sugar-desktop group to be installed, but otherwise be straight-forward
User Experience
Only noticeable by those wanting to use sugar
Dependencies
This depends on Sugar work upstream as well as on getting a pyxpcom package from xulrunner so that the browser can be built.
Contingency Plan
None necessary, we can just have hte packages less useful
