This weekend I'm away, we celebrate 20 year highschool-day.
So here a list of what I'll try to add in the following weeks:
Roadmap
1.) - Gnome:
- Add Planner. (done 005)
- remove mixer-applett that causes only a error-message. (not done, can't find the entry)
- I'll remove /usr/lib/mozilla, that currently points to firefox. (done 005)
Instead, semonkey will be in the Iso again.
Reason: Some of Puppys programs or dotpups might rely on seamonkey.
This also allows to include Gnomes very fast webbrowser Epiphany.
I might choose seamonkey 1.0.5 if it provides compatible libraries.
This is optional, Firefox will stay the "defaultbrowser" (must slightly modify some scripts maybe).
2.) Add Bluefish 1.0.7 and kompoZer HTML-editors. (bluefish done 005)
3.) add german files for Gnome and other apps. (gnome done 005)
4.) Modify the Gtk-Themechooser to use other folders like the Xfce-themes from Dougal. Add those. Dougal wrote me more suggestions, must have a closer look then.
5.) Add a small wizard to configure some options for Icewm-ultra.
I think of adding subfolders to the autostart-folder for the traybuttons and the dock-wmapplets.
Related:
This would allow to switch Gnome/Xfce-taskbar on the fly in a cleaner way. It makes no sense to keep the taskbar running when using Gnome. Gnome conflicts with icewmtray.
So a Gnome-starter (Desktop-icon) would: (partially done 005)
kill xfce
start Gnome
start all traybuttons
When gnome is closed:
start again the xfce-taskbar
start again icewmtray
start again the traybuttons from autostart/traybuttons
6.) Try to add a option to create a swapfile.
I made a quickcheck on a ntfs-drive, but that puppy.swp was not recognized.
A forum/Wiki-search showed, this is a common problem.
Not shure, if it can be solved.
7.) I was asked via PM to add a Faq.
I replied, I'd prefer to add more points to the Muppy-Toolbox instead.
Not shure yet, what to add there.
8.) The cups-installer could be already extracted in the Iso.
9.) Add a small grafical wizard for my script mkkde to build KDE.
This might take a while.
10.) Use Puppy 2.12 as base. (done 005)
This requires some more slight modifications of my build-script.
When this is done, I will post it.
11.) make it easier to share a folder with Windows XP in a network (need that at work).
I was not able to do that quickly, I'm a newbee to samba or nfs.
I need a wizard to click 2-3 buttons for that.
I think Gliezl once guided me in programming such a tool, must have a look at that again
12.) add Rox 2.5 with a quick-switch to flip between 1.2 and 2.5. (done 005)
13.) remove redundant/obsolete .desktop-files (=XDG-menu-entries) and add german translations in them.
14.) add nvidia-drivers to 3DCC. Received a Gt2 as donation today. Thanks Bob!
15.) Bob offered to send SCSI-hardware.
We need a donation to cover the postage (I think 10-15 US$).
If there is interest, that I try to add drivers to Muppy, please donate the porto, see
http://dotpups.de for a paypal-button (**edit** donation solved, thanks snowdog!).
I can however not guarantee success!
-----------
Not every point might be in the next iso already.
I plan the next to be released in 2-4 weeks.
The roadmap might be finished in 2 month.
Unless Puppy 2.12 is used, an uppdate for Muppy004 might be available to avoid you have to download 200 MB again.
Further suggestions are welcome.
Artie already wrote some via PM, I'll have a look again. Thanks Artie.
I prefer suggestions in the Forum in general, so that I find them again quicker, and so that others can comment them
