Marco, you're right. We actually do have a screenshot somwhere of what this could look like. I'll dig it up and add it to this thread when I get a chance.

You shouldn't need a button for collaboration, since the entire OS is being built with that goal in mind. You should simply build collaborative editing into the activity. The Sugar OS handles the rest, and will provide a button for inviting others to join, a button for sharing with the class, and even a BBoard layer on top of the activity that's useful for providing suggestions and such. The HIG outlines the ways these types of things will work; If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend giving it a read even though it's still in early stages: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Human_Interface_Guidelines

If the table widget can be made intuitive, then I see it as a useful addition. The other factor that makes me think it should be included is the fact that you intend to support crossmark. Since crossmark supports tables, it seems AbiWord will have to as well to match the spec. - Eben _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/sugar
