Verfasst: Do 3. Dez 2015, 14:58
A.1)
It's necessary include to OS/2 as many utilities and extenders as possible.
We talk about functions: service, disk, file utilities, .. software aimed to maintain the system.
Basic apps for users, any drivers.
Moreover, it's necessary include all demo versions of commercial software.
Those applications which are distributed with OS, have maximal sellings.
The applications which are not included - are used by <1% of users.
(The developer of OS is obligated create special conditions
for the developers of commercial software, because they define the area of OS usage).
A.2)
The users post the requests what functions to include:
* Local system -> System setup -> there should be Device Manager, viewer of PCI devices.
* Desktop, click on picture -> there should be Convert command in popup menu,
new converters can be included to OS without discussions.
* Programs -> Modern picture viewer should be included to the system.
* Templates folder -> template of Address book, cards with personal information should be located there
* System doesn't boot. The users want boot from DVD and start a Doctor to repair system.
This utility should be created (or Safe mode)
* .. [+] Add your requests (we expect to see 50 - 100 offerings)
A.3) By default all new functions and not visible (installed but not running)
and popup by request of users.
Examples:
* No need to create objects for music Converts applications. Convert function
may be (hidden) inserted into object popup menu of audio files (objects)
* No need to create 50 icons (objects) in Programs folder.
There should be 7+-2 (5 .. 9) folders, which contain other sub-folders.
And all dosenz of applications are sorted by this folders (categories)
A.4) Who manages the list of new functions? (modules which should be included to the OS)
The developer of OS or user groups.
A.5)
OS developer is publishing some requirements to new modules:
* the utilities should me multi-language
* quality: some requirements to quality
* License to distribute the module with OS
* (more)
A.6)
Formula: How to detect, is it necessary include the module to OS or not
* This utility / feature is important for all users? then YER
* Is it system utility? YES
* Is it WPS class? YES
* Is it fix / patch for OS? YES
* Is it front-end aimed to setup OS? YES
* Is it must-have feature for any modern OS? YES
