[SoaS] [Sugar-devel] Taking over Browse maintainership - Your thoughts on My proposed feature Revised_Browse_default-bookmarks

[Thomas C Gilliard]

Sascha;

I would appreciate input on my proposal to modify the index.html in the 
Browse.activity for the fedora spins Soas .iso

*"An enhanced "start new" screen for sugar.browse.* It should have added 
customizable links and Graphic Elements Suitable for *Soas-v4 -Mangolassi"*

 http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Revised_Browse_default-bookmarks.html

I am presently leaning towards:

 http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Introduction

In my prototype screen modification with the MENU link in this mockup:

http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/index6.html

   (An_alternate_Proposed_start_screen_with_these_elements)

This seems to be less intrusive and would only be used for the fedora 
soas spin so it should not affect other instances that use Sugar.

The page I point to contains all of the links and structure of the 
SugarCreationKit DVD and I think a great alternate way to access the 
Wiki, and other resources need by a user of Soas.

This Proposed Feature needs to discussed on the lists.

It is a proposal due for review for the 2nd time on the next Soas Meeting

Thanks;

Tom Gilliard

He already worked on adding SSB support [3] to Browse during last years GSoC. I'll let these facts speak for themselves. :)
