[Sugar-devel] System notifications verbosity

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Hi Sam,
One of the reasons the use of notifications didn't progressed for a long
time,
was we didn't have consensus about what are the notifications we wanted to
show,
and the idea of Sugar is not interrupt to the user and keep him focused.
(One of the reasons for the single window design)
May be the first step is review what are the needed events we need notify.
By example, a notification on a bundle install IMHO is not needed,
the user installed it, then know what was installed.
Then, maybe the best is create a wiki page with the list of possible uses,
and when agreed start coding.  We need involve [DESIGN] in this.
