[sugar] Features for Sugar 0.82

[Marco Pesenti Gritti]

Hello,

as you can see from the roadmap, 0.81.3 is going to be release on the
20 June and it's the feature, ABI, string freeze for 0.82.

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/ReleaseTeam/Roadmap

In the last few days we landed:

* Control panel (erikos)
* Session management (marco)

Here is what is left on the list (based on the feedback to my last
mail about feature freeze). Note that the owners of several of these
are tentative.

* Free form layout of the homepage and ability to move icons around (tomeu)

My understanding is that Tomeu is waiting for Eben to finalize the mockup

* New activity startup notification (marco)

I just sent a patch for review. It will need some bugfixing likely but
should be good enough for the feature freeze.

* Web activity: autocompletion of bookmarks and history (marco)

I'm pretty much done with my features (earlier than I expected), so I
can take this one. I'm going to implement what Eben suggested unless
someone speak up to request something different soon:

"""
Well, we can introduce this in a relatively straightforward manner
that has almost no additional UI up front.  Anytime a bookmark is
created in a session (by anyone in it, not just me), we would need to
log this into a database stored in the "shared" space for all Browse
instances.  We should also log all pages visited (the history) here as
well.  The only additional UI in the short term would be a special
palette of sorts attached to the URL entry which provides
autocompletion suggestions in all Browse instances.
"""

* Web activity: find text in page (erikos)

Simon, can you take this please?

* Web activity: custom certificates "support" (tomeu)

Tomeu, I think you did some work/investigation on this. If you don't
feel home page work will give you enough time to tackle this one
please let me know.

* Object chooser [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Object_Chooser
improvements] (tomeu)

Tomeu sent a patch for this, should land soon.

* Chat with non-sugar Jabber clients (morgs)

Morgs can you give an update on the status of this one? Are we on the
right track to get it in time?

* Presence scalability when using Jabber by using gadget (gdesmott, daf)

gdesmott, daf, can you update on the status? Any estimate for when the
backend for this will be ready? I should have time to work on the UI
the week of the 16.

All in all I'm really happy of how things are proceeding, we are on
the right track!

Thanks!
Marco
