*Some feedback: Persistent storage overlay* http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Strawberry#Windows_Users 6. Set the *Persistent Storage* slider to at least 160 MB (use more if you have a drive with more space);
This confused me until I did some tests and discovered that if you don't do this then activities are not saved on the stick When I did move the persistent storage slider to the end then after making the stick looked at properties the stick was full and I thought this might mean that you couldn't save (the opposite of what the words say) When the above says "to at least 160 MB (use more if you have a drive with more space)" this implies that there is some (unstated) reason for not moving the slider automatically to the end Suggested rewording: 6. Set the *Persistent Storage* slider to the maximum so as to ensure that you can save your Sugar work onto the USB *Press release links* You need about 5 clicks to get from the press release link to strawberry Don't make users click unnecessarily - press release should go straight to http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Strawberry#Windows_Users *Some improvements* The current strawberry looks like a huge improvement on what was available a year ago (through Wolfgang) - thanks and congratulations to all involved. I have only done a few tests so far but the ability to save on the stick is a huge improvement. Also: - when saving in turtle art a name your project box appears automatically - the fast and slow icon feature in turtle art is great for learning - also the TA feature that enables you to save the code as text logo (nice surprise) - I like the xo icon that that appears on the RHS persistently allowing for a quick shutdown from wherever you are (enhanced navigation) - more interesting pippy examples with graphics on top is great (I've only played with it for 5 minutes, no doubt will find many more, so thanks) On Sat, Jun 27, 2009 at 1:05 AM, David Farning <dfarn...@sugarlabs.org>wrote: > I have started a thread for each individual ml; systems, devel, and > marketing to collect ideas about what went right and what we can learn > from the SoaS - Strawberry release. > > A debrief is not necessary about finding solutions, it is more like a > semistructured brainstorm session 'get down on paper' ideas while they > are fresh in people minds. > > If we do it correctly, the debrief can set the stage for the next > iteration.
