[Hamara-devel] Helping with Hamara Sugam

[Vikas Tara]

Hi Devs,

We will have some focussed effort starting tomorrow, towards getting a 
final of hamara-sugam 1.0.

There is quite a lot still to do as the majority of effort so far has 
been towards hamara, hamra core and getting hamara working on ARM.

Without a final release of sugam - a lot of the benefits of ARM 
architecture for the desktop cannot be realised - so I think we would 
all agree, sugam needs to be given more attention.

So what can you do?

1. Testing / Bugfixing

Download a copy of hamara sugam beta from 
http://www.hamaralinux.org/download

Raise bugs at http://bugs.hamaralinux.org/

Discuss any of the bugs here on the mailing list or on IRC. Existing 
hamara developers will help and guide anyone who has not contributed before.

2. Theme / Design

The current view is to implement the greybird theme 
http://shimmerproject.org/our-projects/greybird/ and customise it with 
our branding. Any designers out there might want to suggest an 
alternative. Again - raise a bug if you have an opinion on this.

3. Language Support

Testing in as large a variety of Indian dialects as possible would be a 
great benefit to the project. Can you help with this?

4. Documentation

The main requirement here is to go through the existing lxde 
documentation that is out there and deteremine if it's fit for our 
purpose (I imagine it is - but may need enhancing). Translation of the 
documentation would also be very helpful.

5. Outreach

Help spread the word and publicise the hamara linux message. The more 
users, testers, contributors we have the better!

I'll post a blog post along similar lines tomorrow - which will be 
easier to spread to people.

TIA
