Hi everyone,
we want to redesign the YaST Control Center. Therefore we are looking for a radical new design. [...]
What frustrates me personally is the lack of documentation/explanation within Yast modules. For example, the other day, I posted a query here on the mailing list asking where I could go to get definitions of the multiple options available in Samba shares as presented by Yast. People pointed me to SWAT, which turns out to be a very cool tool to use. From a "competitive" perspective, Yast loses its audience to SWAT hands down.
Should there be some flexibility, where if you click on Yast SAMBA Server, either the Yast module or the SWAT interface comes up, depending on how the administrator configures default action of a module? (i.e., Yast icon links either to a module or to an external tool?)
[...] What if Yast was to change to a web-based paradigm similar to SWAT? That way, utilities like SWAT, WebMin etc. could be seamlessly integrated into Yast. In fact, what about rewriting Yast-specific stuff as WebMin modules? That would be pretty radical... -- ====================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@optusnet.com.au ====================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
