I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to PulseAudio getting anywhere near Haiku. It
has caused nothing but headaches for me on Linux. Plus as far as I can
tell it replicates exactly what the media_server does.
If you REALLY needed it I suppose some sort of PulseAudio compatible
wrapper for our media_server could be written. But I REALLY, REALLY
don't want to see PulseAudio on Haiku.

Now this could be useful and I am not opposed to it getting ported to
Haiku, but I certainly can't volunteer to do the work.

I have heard some good things about Sugar, but I haven't really played
with it much. I don't know what it requires to run, but if someone
were to try to get it to work on Haiku, I would hope they would do a
nice port that takes advantage of Haiku's APIs instead of just porting
over all the Linux code.

Well I have had thoughts about tweaks to Haiku's interface to make it
a little more efficient for netbooks or other small screens. But I was
thinking more about small changes to Tracker and Deskbar instead of
trying to replace them. And I wasn't thinking about a
children-friendly interface (though honestly I'm not sure if that is
really needed...children are smart and much more adaptable than adults
so I question the whole idea of a "children-friendly" interface.)
In the future I will probably experiment some with the small screen
tweaks but for the moment I'm pretty busy.
