[Sugar-devel] [ANNOUNCE] Sucrose 0.89.3 Tarballs Due
Dear Sucrose Maintainers, we will have our third unstable release in the 0.90 development cycle the 4th of August [1]. Please provide the Sucrose 0.89.3 tarballs by tonight. Please announce them as explained at [2]. Today is Feature Freeze! From the Features that have been accepted Removing the Presence Service [3] is pending. As it touches three modules reviewing takes a few more days. Since it is the mayor 0.90 Feature I want to give it that deadline exception. The extended deadline is next Monday the 23th of August, when we hit as well UI Freeze [4]. As Fedora Alpha slipped by one week I think that exception is acceptable. So have in mind: 23th of August is UI Freeze!

[Sugar-devel] utouch 1.0
Hi, a bunch of updates on the work that Canonical has been doing about multitouch support: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Canonical-release-uTouch-1-0-multi-touch-for-Ubuntu-10-10-1059801.html http://voices.canonical.com/chase.douglas/2010/08/16/multitouch-gestures-project/ http://voices.canonical.com/chase.douglas/2010/08/16/thoughts-on-the-architecture-of-multitouch-in-ubuntu/ http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2101 http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/455 Haven't been able to fully read any of them (need to run now), but I expect some of it be of use to Sugar.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Appropriate to call myself senior developer?
This thread has made me wistful. I go to a conference every year called No Fluff Just Stuff. The guy who runs it has the title Meme Wrangler. I've had several different titles at my day job, every one more dismal than the last. The work and the pay doesn't change, just the title. What I wouldn't give to be a Meme Wrangler, or a Wizard, or a Lord High Executioner, or even an Oompah-Loompah, even if the job didn't pay anything. Maybe that could be an inducement to volunteer for Sugar Labs. Make a significant contribution and somebody in authority, maybe Walter Bender, gives you a cool title. Maybe a signed certificate you could hang in the office of your day job.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [FEATURE] Remove Presence Service
I don't have enough time for a very detailed review and I don't really
know telepathy, but here a few comments. Mostly nitpicks, it looks
great in general.
+BuddyIcon.__init__(self, buddy=get_owner_instance(), size=size)
Maybe assign to self._buddy here and reuse later to pass to the menu?
+if not self._buddy.props.present or \
+not self._buddy.props.current_activity:
I would align the not :)
+name = self._get_new_icon_name(self._buddy.props.current_activity)
Do we still need to use .props? I thought at some point gobject add
some magic to be able to just use properties.
+p_text = glib.markup_escape_text(self._model.bundle.get_name())
+p_icon = Icon(file=self._model.bundle.get_icon(),
Not your fault but I hate abbreviating like this... It's not
immediately clear what the variable refers to.
+item.show()
+self._invite_to_item[invite] = item
I'd /n here to make the two blocks separate.
+def set_present(self, present):
+self._present = present
+
+present = gobject.property(type=bool, default=False, getter=is_present,
+ setter=set_present)
I still think we should move away from GObject for non UI stuff :)
+if service.startswith('org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.'):
+path = '/%s' % service.replace('.', '/')
+Connection(service, path, bus,
+ ready_handler=self.__connection_ready_cb)
I don't know enough about telepathy, but the path guessing here looks weird.
+logging.debug('__got_dispatch_operation_cb')
+dispatch_operation_path = kwargs['dispatch_operation_path']
Nitpicking again... In several places, I think it would be clearer to
separate the logging in its own block.
+if connection_path == '/':
+return
Why are we ignoring this? Unless it's obvious to someone that
understands telepathy, a comment would be useful here.
+#self._start_listening()
Leftover?
+if handle.invited:
+wait_loop = gobject.MainLoop()
+self._client_handler = _ClientHandler(
+self.get_bundle_id(),
+partial(self.__got_channel_cb, wait_loop))
+# The current API requires that self.shared_activity is set before
+# exiting from __init__, so we wait until we have got the shared
+# activity.
+wait_loop.run()
Ouch, quite an hack :) I'd open a bug and reference it here, it should
go away at some point.
+# Cannot call datastore.write async for creates:
+# https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/3071
+datastore.write(self._jobject)
Update the bug reference to sugarlabs.org while you are changing this?
+if handle.object_id is None and create_jobject:
+logging.debug('Creating a jobject.')
+self._jobject = datastore.create()
+title = _('%s Activity') % get_bundle_name()
+self._jobject.metadata['title'] = title
+self.set_title(self._jobject.metadata['title'])
+self._jobject.metadata['title_set_by_user'] = '0'
+self._jobject.metadata['activity'] = self.get_bundle_id()
+self._jobject.metadata['activity_id'] = self.get_id()
+self._jobject.metadata['keep'] = '0'
+self._jobject.metadata['preview'] = ''
+self._jobject.metadata['share-scope'] = SCOPE_PRIVATE
+if self.shared_activity is not None:
+icon_color = self.shared_activity.props.color
+else:
+client = gconf.client_get_default()
+icon_color = client.get_string('/desktop/sugar/user/color')
+self._jobject.metadata['icon-color'] = icon_color
Separate blocks while you are at it :) It's really hard to read.

Maybe a more specific name for this module? connection or something...

[Sugar-devel] Spellchecker in Write-63
Hi, while writing an article on the XO-1.5 (build 851, Write-63) I realized that wrongly spelled words were being underlined with red yet there was no way to access the traditional suggestions menu with a right-click or something. I also didn't find any functionality on the tabs that make use of the spellchecker. Am I missing something here or does Write include a spellchecker that's really not quite as powerful and useful as it could be?
