No. It isn't a complete app. We want it to remain a simple interactive slide show. > > if we are creating a slideshow > > it is really easy to do > all we need is some javascript and some images > about the pointers I can implement that Ah!

We have various desktop environments that we'd like to take care of: gnome, kde, xfce, lxde. A complete app for all of these will make it very very difficult to work with, and updating every 6 months will be a mammoth task. > > I'd like to know which one we are trying to make. > and if it is the first option it is fairly simple > we need some set of images for navigation pane and some javascript > which respnds to them and a layout with some pointers and labels to > those pointers Great! Can you break it down to implementation details Pahnin? We could have another meeting where you could hand out tasks to the team folks, and we could get started? > > Thanks all, this is what I wanted to discuss yesterday. :) It's good to see folks continuing the discussion on the list. :) -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha http://dodoincfedora.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Fedora-tour mailing list Fedora-tour(a)lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-tour
