Intro: When I initially read Sugar HIG, I loved the palettes, because it would provide basic information on the primary, and more detailed on the secondary. While I understand that the detail provided on the secondary palette must have some limits, I also imagined that those limits would be higher than they currently are. For example, the secondary palettes for connected and unconnected APs are pretty slim, giving out the ESSID for the first and the radio channel for the second.
Ok, the workload on the Sugar developers is already imense, and so going to the point of this email: Mel Chua is developping a Power Activity, which will show various statistics like "voltage, amperage, wattage that the charger is currently supplying to the laptop", to help those in the field developing and using alternative energy sources to charge their laptops. In such a power-conscious laptop as the XO, I ask you, and especially Eben, if some subset of this information would be fit to have on the secondary palette of the battery. Currently, the only extra information it gives is a more fine-grained charge bar, and the time until it is discharged.
