Bundled application set for the ClassmatePC and add/remove management
#1 Not all of standard edubuntu bundled applications will be included in the ClassmatePC delivery.
#2 Not all of standard edubuntu applications available for install through the g-a-i (Add/Remove menu options) will be apropriate for download and install onto the ClassmatePC.
The considerations are:
* limitations on the internal storage
- for default image install
- for add/remove applications
* limitations of screen size / functionality
* other hardware considerations
e.g. application needs <LeftShift> and <RightShift> keys
Decisions need to be taken on:
1. What are the criteria for determining an approved subset
* what install space size is reasonable to provide an acceptable user data space
* what other hardware limitations
* language considerations
2. What is the testing procedure to select a sub-set of applications that are "approved"
* what is the testing process
* who will do the testing
* what is the approval process
* who will do the approval
* how is this list maintained
* who will do the maintaining
* patches / updates ... any issues around these ?
3. What applications are included in the standard install bundle from the approved subset
* who selects the options
* what is the process
* who approves the options
* what is the process
* language considerations ?
4. How is the Add/Remove issue going to be managed
* users should not download and install certain applications (i.e. applications that are not in the approved subset)
* how is this going to be managed
