Re: [Sugar-devel] The User experience/interface for Printing
The usecases would be as following: The user, John, creates a document and saves it to his journal one fine day. The next day john transfers that journal item to his friend's XO the next day. His friend, Kennedy, has his XO set up in a moodle environment. Kennedy when in school decides to send that file (which is an ODF ) to the teacher for review and get it printed there. Kennedy then double clicks on the item, which results in Write opening the file, and selects the print button in the print toolbar, a dialog pops up (which is understandably similar to gtkprint dialog), he selects the print destination as moodle, and selects no of pages as 'all', after sending. (ofcourse there is an internal conversion to PDF happening, which gtkprint is doing) the teacher checks his print page in moodle, views the file (either through fancy javascript or a download) and approves/disapproves for printing. Kennedy then logs into his moodle print page and checks if the job was success or not, and if he has a comment from his teacher. But we already know John's doc was excellent. Kennedy goes to collect the printed document, which he hands over to John the evening. Use cases to note: 1) transferred docs can be printed 2) A nice graphical dialog that takes care of it all 3) exports only PDFs to moodle ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
Re: [Sugar-devel] The User experience/interface for Printing
== Use cases == 1.- John has written an essay in Write about sharks and would like to print it right now on a printer plugged via USB to his computer. John does this by hitting the print button in write, and selecting 'usb printing' as destination in the dialog which pops up. He then selects print in the dialog. John also leaves the default number of pages as 'all' while he does this. 2.- John\'s teacher asks the class to deliver their essays in PDF format. John and his friends open their respective files with the default mime type activity, hit the print button, and select 'export to moodle' as destination. The option of course is visible only if John and his friends aren't using all three of their slots. 3.- John\'s teacher liked his essay and would like to have it printed and exposed in the classroom. The only available printer in the school is attached to the school server. The teacher hits approve in the moodle teacher page over john's assignment. It is sent for printing, and John recieves back an acknowledgement in his user page == Non-functional requirements == Printing resources can be very expensive for most schools, so the system should include a way for students to submit jobs to a queue and for an administrator to preview and approve or denie them. ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
