A ticket of mine relating to this topic was closed a while ago with the notation A new design is being worked on -- but I'm not sure where this new design is documented -- so how might one file a new ticket against a non-described capability ?

I speak as someone who has worked on a lot of issues similar to the ones you have described, and someone who intends to continue bug fixing as time allows. We appreciate your contributions, but it really helps if you can collaborate with the developers on their preferred platform. But this is a non-issue, because as you say, tickets are already filed. Thanks! Now to find some time and resources to fix them :) Daniel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

March date realistic ?
However, we'll only move the date when we must and we'll only do it to improve quality or possibly to include a customer critical feature. There's about 35 normal workdays between the end of XOCamp and the proposed date for factory-release. As a mere sampling of the distance that ought to be covered, I'm listing a dozen regressions (things that worked in 767 but do not in 2615): - No mesh - No GUI for moving files USB -- Journal - No video - sugar-install-bundle fails - page-up in Terminal gets overdone - Journal key (Magnifying glass) takes too long to act - Help Activity fails - Can't launch Terminal if /etc/olpc-security not present - Record Activity gets X system error - Incomplete GUI for controlling resources - Initial state of Power controls shown wrong - Various Activities do not launch on f10 The above list does not include longer-standing problems, such as flakiness in wired connection support; or the lack of alphanumeric sorting in Journal View. mikus ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
