 I would like to work with 0.84 and port to 0.90.

At Paraguay Educa we've been also focusing a lot on 0.84 lately.

However, I'm starting to worry the history will repeat once again: many
deployments have been patching 0.82 with fixes and new features that
were never upstreamed, making the transition to 0.84 much more painful
that it would have been otherwise.

Now we're trying to minimize the gap between development versions of
Sugar and what deployments ship. The good news is that there should be
pretty good activity compatibility across 0.84, 0.86 and 0.88.

In Paraguay we're about to start a new development cycle to rebase the
Fedora 11 builds on Sugar 0.88. Much of the stabilization effort of the
0.84 cycle actually went into the OS and activities, so I'm quite
optimist.


 I have read your bug #1969 and contacted a blind programmer to check
 the selected keys. We can write in the wiki a plan and work together
 with small patches.

Great! Small patches have a higher potential to apply cleanly to both
0.84 and 0.90.

Very good, indeed!

Gonzalo, would you and your team like to take over this task for the
0.90 release cycle?

Today I filed a bug to keep track of an issue that has been bothering me
for a long time:

  http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1969

Being an important UI issue, we'd need a good discussion with the design
team. Unfortunately, we cannot always follow existing Gnome conventions
for keyboard shortcuts. For example, rename cannot be done with F2
because it's already used for the buddy view.

-8--8--8--8--8-

The Sugar UI should be 100% navigable without using a mouse.

Besides being an accessibility issue, it's important for quick
navigation, especially for users stuck with a broken XO touchpads.

Some proposed changes:

 * Favorites view
   * Search should be enabled in the shell view
   * A caret should appear when the user starts to type
   * Non-matching activities should be grayed out
   * TAB should cycle through possible completions
   * Cursor keys should cycle through the icons

 * Journal
   * Cursor up/down should scroll a caret on the list
   * ENTER should open the selected item (Linux/Windows style)
   * Rename item: TBD (just type something?)
   * Go to proprieties: TBD (cursor right?)
   * Change volume: TBD
   * Unmount all hot pluggable devices: TBD

 * Activities list view
   * Should behave like the journal

 * Network Neighborhood
   * Similar to favorites view

 * Toolbars
   * There should be a key to move the focus to the toolbars
 (alt-space?)

Hi Bernie

The proposed keyboard shortcuts sound good. Maybe we can chat about  
the TBD items?

Sure, ping me any time on #sugar. I'm in GMT+4 currently, same TZ as
Boston.

Or would you rather have a full-blown Design Team meeting?
