People
- AOG: Arnt Ove Gregersen (arntog at gmail dot com)
- NB: Nigel Barker
- JLR: José L. Redrejo
Suggestions
- AOG: Replace background image in grub menu and booting process with one that looks nicer
- NB: Had to use nosplash on thinclients and some workstations to get around problems. Messages scrolling by is useful and looks cool.
AOG:Replace Skoletux version 1 witthe official version 2 in the grub menu, booting process and in the installer(http://joomla.slx.no/images/stories/about_us/mascot/skole_tux_small.png)
AOG:DebianEdu progress bar should be beautified, in my opinion it is only confusing now
- AOG: Optimize K-menu:
- AOG: Remove unnecassery menu elements in the K-menu, there are many duplicates
- JLR: this is most likely because the user is not a teacher or student
AOG: Organize it in a better way, (remove debian menu ? ) We could possibly be inspired by the following wiki page : http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/kschoolmenu (only in norwegian, but google translator will help you).
- NB: scribus appears in a very strange location now
- AOG: Remove unnecassery menu elements in the K-menu, there are many duplicates
AOG:Replace the current icon theme with a more modern one
AOG:Make a nice user start page for the browsers
- NB: I like the clean start page and that the kids have to decide where to go. Perhaps a skolelinux branding page to replace the iceweasel one?(but still subtle and clean)
AOG:Add default school related bookmarks to the browsers
- NB: A empty bookmark folder is nice to have when teaching kids, please limit number of folder to a minimum. My opinion is that bookmarks are personal, not generic.
- International:
- AOG: Wikipedia
- NB: already a search box option
- AOG: BBC learning resources (do not have any url at the moment)
NB: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ or http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/bitesize// but I like to show kids how to get there via search, then they can do it from home/anywhere.
- AOG: Wikipedia
- Norway:
- Todo
AOG:Make the root start page look nicer and simplify it
AOG:Add nice colors using formating and stylesheets
AOG:Lwat should also get a nice looking design
AOG:Add nice colors using formating and stylesheets
AOG:Brand the Skolelinux/Debian desktop with our colors, logo and mascot wherever possible so there is no doubt that this is Skolelinux/DebianEdu
