= Introduction =
One Hundred Scopes is a project to facilitate the creation of lenses and scopes for Unity.
Launchpad reference: https:/
Per its name, the goal of the project, and in particular for this cycle, is to *create* 100 scopes.
Another goal for the cycle is to integrate the lenses that have already been developed (Book lens, etc.)
= Review of lenses created within this project =
* Book Lens (lp:~davidc3/onehundredscopes/projectgutenberg)
* Music Lens (lp:~davidc3/onehundredscopes/musicfolder)
* Sheet Music Lens (lp:~davidc3/onehundredscopes/songsterr)
* lp:~davidc3/onehundredscopes/timezone
* lp:~davidc3/onehundredscopes/rottentomatoeslocal
* lp:~davidc3/onehundredscopes/invaders
* lp:lens-cooking -- PLEASE HELP me to package this thing for USC. Its already packaged, but with some hacks ! --gotwig
== Which lenses are ready to be submited for inclusion ==
* Book lens should go first
* Music lens - makes sense as a supplementary lens (ubuntu universe); no need to merge with the standard ubuntu music lens
* Sheet Music lens -> ok, very specialized
== Lenses that require design input / are not ready yet ==
* Just pre-alpha: https:/
* lp:lens-cooking -- Please help me in finishing this scope/lens -- gotwig
= Feedback for the DX Team on the lens system =
Should add the ability for a scope to define his own filter and his own categories:
* no: scopes shouldn't define their filters; lenses do
A way to order results would be nice, but there is a latency problem then; the design is to show results as fast as possible in the order they are arriving in
Substring matching would improve the relevancy situation.
= Community process to facilitate the creation of lenses =
Need for an idea generation process to create a list of interesting lenses to develop.
Quickly will provide a template to ease the packaging of the lenses.
The Software Center may provide a new category to regroup and /promote/ the new lenses
The recommended process for the new lenses is to submit them via
- either, Universe
- or "extras" (ie the Software Center)
Note: didrocks or anyone familiar with the Ubuntu process, please clarify that last part.
= Action items =
[davidc3] Write a proposal on relevancy ranking - contact john lea for the list of key aspects that should be addressed in the proposal: TODO
[gord] Making sure that we can install lenses into /opt: TODO
[YokoZar] Making sure that "extras" would accept a lens: DONE (stgraber says it's ok and was considered during creation of ARB as an example case)
-----
*a few "brainstorm" ideas for possible future lenses:
- Music-player-lens.
mockup: http://
- File-manager-lens (fork from file-lens, but with a few enhancements: breadcrumbs, select/cut/paste and info tooltips. All seen in widgets for kde and plugins for several docks).
- trashcan-lens (part of file-manager-lens ?)
- System-
- ....
