Moved from 2010_Agenda
- Make the process of creating and distributing custom images for tablets easy
- Provide infrastructure for users to upload their own hacked-together images
- Provide documentation on creating flashable images to users
- Make it as easy as possible to flash removable drives, and boot from removable drives
This is a great idea, I would love to download a "media player" or a "games machine", or a "productivity tablet", etc., without worrying about downloading each individual package. The only problem I would see with this is in losing pre-existing settings and files and programs. I guess this would be more for deployment on new machines than updating an old one --mee 05:44, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Examples
Three configs:
- hacker
- gamer
- communicator
make a device that fits those requirements exactly and you have a perfect tool.
The only problem is to reach that level of quality, you need intensive user feedback, The best way to elicit such feedback, is to concentrate on a non-technical application. Gamer is the best example. If you can host a number of good applications, like tuxpaint or Wesnoth, the application depth alone would make the device indispensable. Make the best portable chess computer, with a deepfritz engine, and you've achieved an incredibly powerful tool.
timeframe - 12-24 weeks (adding timeframe, because ultimately decisions will be made based on man-hours available and men available. Budgets are a necessary part of any successful project)
Maintenance of the legacy
- Put together a plan of action for moving forward with a community-maintained Hacker Edition (based on what Quim said here)
- Having a specific proposal agreed by the community would definitely help.--qgil 07:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
