Field of Interest |

----------------- |

|
6 |
An issue is related to the desktop if it is : client side or end-user oriented |
7 |
workstation use. Basically, that's everything UI oriented, plus hardware |
8 |
management, installation problems as well as simple system management. |
9 |
Basically, if it is client side and doesn't use servers, it is our |
10 |
responsability. |
11 |
|
12 |
Examples: |
13 |
setting internet/lan connection is desktop, but setting a ftp server is not. |
14 |
setting sound card, graphic card is desktop |

Problems Resolution |

------------------- |

|
19 |
* Discussion/planning phase |
20 |
- throw a description here, verify validity |
21 |
- preliminary discussion here and/or irc |
22 |
- APPROVAL 1 : does it worth it to handle it (see below) |
23 |
|
24 |
* Prototype phase [no strict deadlines/roadmap, but should be not very long] |
25 |
- Prepare a testcase or a little code snippet to let everybody play with |
26 |
possible solution. |
27 |
- With the help of the other insterested in (small groups or everybody) let's |
28 |
try to get a fully working program. |
29 |
|
30 |
* Revision phase [strict deadline] |
31 |
- add a new task : at least some time to research further (with a milestone), |
32 |
and some time to find a solution (with milestone). |
33 |
- assign people to the task, set up deadlines |
34 |
- all this should be well written in the xml project pages. |
35 |
- APPROVAL 2 (see below) |
36 |
|
37 |
* Project tracking |
38 |
- once the planning phase end with approval (see below), the thing should end |
39 |
up to a GLEP |
40 |
- the d-r site should host a little summary of every project with phases and |
41 |
timings once we are in the Proto phase. |
42 |

Decisions |
44 |
--------- |
45 |
We'll try to work together in a friendly manner, so no use to be strict for |
46 |
every points. Nevertheless, rules are still usefull for extreme situations. |
47 |
|
48 |
APPROVAL 1 : at the end of the Revision phase, we should try to come to an |
49 |
agreement that we should handle the case. |
50 |
|
51 |
APPROVAL 2 : I think it'd good to warn people outside of -desktop-research at |
52 |
this point, like -desktop leader. |
53 |
|
54 |
|
55 |
What do you think? |
56 |
|
57 |
As soon as we finish writing this draft, we'll put it officially on the project |
58 |
page, and we'll be (at last) able to begin the Real Work :) |
