you can lower the volume while the jingle is playing. OFW
will store it and remember it for the next boot.
I wish the rest of our software stack was equally refined.

Hi Peter,
Which teachers or schools have been asking for printing support? If we
can add some documentation on that to the Wiki it will help a lot.
It makes sense that schools would want printing and CUPS is a robust
tool in my experience.
Real world user cases will help determine how much
Agreed. I said, 'sometimes'. I think that it is better to stay non-modal if
possible. (For the last of your cases, changes to activity structure, eg

Yup. Open up the Terminal activity, then:

You can '-s radio on' when you're back on
