Ok, I've done some more clean up of the 11.1 feature ideas page:
http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Ideas/11.1
Its still messy and some ideas are a bit vague, but we can still have a
discussion around various features.
First off, packaging related things, there are a number of items that
would simply require packaging:
1) gypsy (G:C)
2) viking (G:C)
3) nautilus-extensions (G:F)
4) crashbit icons (Stanislav's branding repo?)
5) gartoon icons (Stanislavs's branding repo?)
6) GNOME Online Desktop (G:F)
Then there are a couple of things that just need testing:
1) Bluetooth mice
2) Bluetooth keyboard (other than pairing at gdm screen)
3) Bluetooth printing (via bluez-cups)
4) fonts.conf work
5) GDM splash screen disabling - the new one should be nicer for this
And there are some policy related questions:
1) Face browser for GDM
2) Pidgin defaults
And some pattern questions
1) xdg-user-dirs
2) raw-thumbnailer
For individual topics where some discussion (IMHO) is needed, please
comment where you feel strongly:
Accessibility:
1) Would be nice to assess what (if anything) is improved/solved
Desktop:
1) Panel tweaks need a yes/no
2) Gilouche window border color needs a yes/no
3) Color management, don't think we have a real hope of doing this right
for 11.1, but we could make sure all apps that support color management
have it enabled and shipping xicc, Mandriva might have a patch for
gnome-settings-daemon
4) Clean app menu - kind of makes sense, but we'd need a list of overlap
problems in a default install
5) Settings location - difficult now because sound, network, printer,
bluetooth all have GNOME gui equivalents
6) For the sudo stuff, I think we need to restate this as a need to get
pk-su or equivalent for PolicyKit
7) unified password manager - in general i think pidgin is our main hold
out
8) Root priviliges in nautilus - this comes up a lot actually
9) baoaob/nautilus - push to 11.2 i think, its not critical
10) nautilus replace dialog issue - push to 11.2, its not critcal
11 Fix bug that is making a unnecessary extra space between notification
area and volume icon. - not sure what bug this is
Doorman:
1) I'd like to see this happen in general, but we have no one to work on
it currently
Dual Head:
1) It looks like the only item here is done, but we have a tracker bug
for 11.0/11.1
Fonts.conf
1) for subpixel stuff, I think its simply a wontfix because of
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=408997
GDM
1) Clutter based face browser should just be dropped or pushed to 11.2,
no time really
Hardware Integration
1) latency-policy is going into F10, have to figure out if we need it or
not
Icons
1) Switching away from tango is a no go, but getting them packaged would
be fine
Infrastructure - this should probably be moved elsewhere
Misc
1) Not really sure what the state of Hal device icons is, needs research
Multimedia
1) gstreamer codec install - sreeves and ensonic need to talk
2) Podcast creation should be punted i think, no time
3) Polish photo workflow - not really clear whats required here
Online Desktop
1) is conduit enough? it does most of the service integration work for
us
P2P
1) should reject, its not HIG compliant and an option to minimize to
tray exists
Performance
1) Can be done after feature freeze?
Remote Desktop
1) Anyone know of a knx equivalent?
SuSE Integration
1) Would love this, need someone to work on it though
Synchronization
1) Hopefully conduit gets open
2) Ifolder - need to bang on people internally
UX
1) Suggest we drop this, i think GNOME Online Desktop is it for us right
now
