Refining
Ready
- Make distros ship defaults
- Distros to look up to: Kubuntu, OpenSuse, ArchLinux, Chakra, Mageia, Fedora
- Collect defaults, ask why?
- Proceed to merge to upstream if it's a sensible change. ignore the changes (if it's just branding/wallpapering), or negotiate middle grounds.
- Review default activities
- Make sure they are useful, gain expertise in them
- Improve naming
- Location API
- Goals
- Change timezone when changing country/borders
- Weather applet shows relevant location
- Tasklist
- We currently have a location dataengine. It supports gps and hostip, it doesn't work any time I've tested it (d_ed in England and Barcelona)
- Investigate Geoclue (Marble did at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Marble/GeoClue)
- In geoclue only one engine that worked was "Ubuntu GeoClue". (hostip also fails here)
- Need to have more backends in the dataengine so that it can be considered reliable /or/ reconsider using Geoclue.
