Ubuntu

Unity ui for phone (iteration 0)

Registered by kevin gunn

This blueprint should capture the work items (or spawn dependent blueprints) needed to ready the Unity UI for integration with Mir. This includes baselining and cleanup activity of the Unity Next that was shared as part of the Ubuntu Touch developer preview. The primary focus of this blueprint & its children blueprints are to increase the level of quality through creation of automated tests & fixing any "major" TODO/FIXMEs in the current Ubuntu Touch developer preview.

Note: since testing is specifically interesting, it is covered on a dependent blueprint (client-1303-unity-ui-testing)

Acceptance criteria for March / ubuntu-13.04-month-5:
#1) reduce TODO/FIXMEs in code (starting with 80 FIXMEs & 21 TODOs)

Acceptance criteria for April / ubuntu-13.04-month-6:
#1) user should be able to access indicators to modify settings from the greeter/lockscreen (w/ no pin)

Acceptance criteria for May / ubuntu-13.05:
#1) the UnityNext shell should be able to render using Mir (basic functional level / minus adv window management)
#2) current grep on code shows 77FIXMEs/21 TODOs, reduce by 10%

Note: acceptance criteria may be updated, check back often

Whiteboard

Initial fixes to the build scripts:

We might need to add chewie to the list of locally built dependencies.

2013-03-08 (TheMuso): Has there been any consideration as to what to use for sound events, i.e incoming call/message etc? Libcanberra is a prime candidate to do this, as it would hook us up with the XDG sound theme spec. Both GNOME and KDE use libcanberra, and this would keep things clear and working for the convergence usecase.

Mar14,2013: kgunn - wrt the sound events, I believe that would be up to the platform, this may be something that requires a "Unity API" for convenience such that applications don't need to "know" what the sound facility is. For instance, on phones I assume we will likely reuse android audioflinger/stagefright frameworks - obviously not present on desktop. and vice versa, unlikely to incorp libcanberra on the phone. CORRECTION....libcanberra could be incorporated even on a phone, but its still true its a platform decision what fmwk to provide...and then an per application issue to utilize it, so i would recommend putting comments for this in a more appropriate blueprint (e.g. its simply not a ui topic)

March 27, 2013 : kgunn - note, Design team User Stories will begin to be used to drive development
