Hi all, has been requested that we add to the current release a new feature after the freeze: removal of activities from the shell (currently, only activities that have a bundle in the journal can be removed).
It's importance has been raised from deployments because children will have big bundles installed through non-journal means and will need to uninstall them in order to be able to install new ones due to the limited NAND space. Examples of big bundles include wikipedia slices and etoys images. You can see in https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7071 the specification proposed by Eben. For this release, we could just add one option to the palettes that allow the removal of that activity (patch attached to ticket). This is pretty simple and non-invasive, but has the drawback that makes very easy to uninstall activities inadvertently, which can cause big problems to teachers in schools that try to keep a base set of activities installed in the pupils' laptops. In summary, I think that we should add an option to uninstall activities, with a non-modal alert that asks for confirmation, thus reducing the risk of involuntary removals. Note that this will require three new strings to be translated (cc'ing the localization mailing list). Sounds good? Comments?
