== UDS 14.03 Agenda ==
* Review status and direction for 14.04 https:/
* Review future changes
== Previous Discussions ==
=== Bugs to track ===
* SDK: https:/
* Apps: https:/
== = Areas that need to be addressed ===
toolbar interaction
have to swipe up to be able to use it
fixes have landed in the SDK already (visible on startup, and when you change a page, disappears after some time)
having the toolbar at the bottom might be confusing for desktop users, who are used to something else
have the toolbar displayed all the time could be an option
menubar/hud interaction
layout optimizations for screen size: http://
scrollbars
keyboard navigation
application closing/
packaging: parallel deb and click packages
Tabs
navigating on desktop is very difficult
should we allow resizing of sidestage apps on the desktop? default probably should be true, give dev an option
=== Proposed System Apps: ===
Camera
Gallery
Media Player
Browser
