Hi Martin & Daniel,

thanks for proposing and working on this Feature!

Your Feature has been accepted for the 0.88 release cycle. It has a 
clear value for many Sugar users and the need has been expressed from 
people from the field. It is, what I am especially happy about, 
implemented by locals! From a technical point of view the changes are 
not too invasive.

* Design (from the Feature Page)*
An icon will be added to the frame when a modem is connected, and the 
user will be able to connect and disconnect from there. Also, a section 
will be added to the control panel that will allow entering the details 
needed by the connection.

We will have a design meeting this weekend [1]. Do you have any 
particular questions regarding the UI for your Feature? Do you have an 
icon for the frame device and the control panel already?

Concerning the 0.88 release: The most important date is the Feature 
Freeze Feb 01. The Feature must have been reviewed by the module 
maintainer (in your case Tomeu for Sugar) and pushed to the repository. 
I know that you are in contact with Tomeu already and patches are in 
review. Furthermore please keep your Feature page up to date (testing 
plan, release notes).

Thanks,
    Simon
