[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] [MINUTES] 0.88 Meeting --- 06. Feb 2010 (15:30 UTC)

[Simon Schampijer]

Hey,

Christian, Walter and Tomeu were around for the design meeting today. We 
followed up on the following items:

*** Resume vs Start New
Christian has phrased out a test case that will bring us data to 
evaluate 'Start new" vs "Resume in Home View". The tests will be 
conducted in the Pilot in Berlin and in the Pierre Van Cortlandt Middle 
School in Croton on Hudson, New York in the week of the 8-12th of February.

We have a patch together that lets you switch between both behaviors 
from within the home view (images are in [1]). Builds are on it's way.

*** Write to Journal anytime
- We remove the naming alert dialog in 0.88
- We do not switch to the Journal detail view directly yet. We would 
like to explore further options first and do some tests.
- We want to add an option to the toolbar that allows editing/adding of 
a description, something like [1].

*** Enhance color selector
All the options have it's downsides and upsides. In the end we seem to 
like the simplicity of [1] best.
