Current status

• Targeted release: [[Releases/Template:Fedora10 | Template:Fedora10 ]]
• Last updated: (DATE)
• Percentage of completion: 5%

Detailed Description

We want to provide the base sugar desktop environment as well as some activities to allow further building upon the collaborative environment.

Need more filler...

Benefit to Fedora

This helps to make it easier for OLPC to use Fedora bits as well as to advance the OLPC platform. By making Sugar more readily available, it is easier for users to play with it, become involved, and contribute back.

Scope

• Build updated sugar packages
• Build useful sugar activities (list on the Wishlist of packages)
• Add a session for gdm to be able to choose Sugar as the login environment

Test Plan

Can select Sugar as an option on the gdm screen for your account, log in, and use Sugar. Will require the @sugar-desktop group to be installed, but otherwise be straight-forward

User Experience

Only noticeable by those wanting to use sugar

Dependencies

This depends on Sugar work upstream as well as on getting a pyxpcom package from xulrunner so that the browser can be built.

Contingency Plan

None necessary, we can just have hte packages less useful
