The current presentation of modules in the software section also leads to the
following usability problems:
* unclear wording and meaning (What'S the difference between online update,
automatic online update and online update configuration?)
* inefficient working as 10 modules need to be processed by the users mind
* unclear workflows (e.g. selected community repositories appear in software
repositories)
I suggest the following:
* Merging "Add-On Product" and "Community Repository" module into "Software
Repositories" module to have one module for "Add Software Sources". If a user
wants to add a new repository this could look like this:
http://en.opensuse.org/Usability/Softwaremanagement
(or take a look at the attachment I will create after I finished this text :-))
* What is different about "Add-On-Product"? From the first look it seems to me
that is contains exactly the same steps and UI as add software repository
* Why are we using "Software Repositories" in openSUSE and "Installation
Sources" in SLES? There should be a unification.
* What about Merging "Patch-CD" into "Software Management" module?
* What about merging Online Update and Automatic Online Update?
* How to deal with the NCC-registration module? Currently it is called "Online
Update Configuration" in openSUSE and "Novell Customer Center Configuration" in
SLES. I guess the term "Online Update Configuration" was chosen to avoid the
term "registration" but it is highly confusing in combination with the two
other online update modules. One possibility would be to merge the registration
module into either "Online Update" module or "Software Management" module.
* As the new YaST control center doesn't contain a "Miscellaneous" category
what about moving "Autoinstallation" and "Installation Server" into the
"Software" category?
* What about "Vendor Driver CD"? Can this be included into software
repositories?
