YaST is CURRENTLY DEBUGGED. What's the point of doing a whole re-write, and then having to debug it again (which if I remember correctly, took about a year)
No-one suggested a complete re-write. Perhaps next time you could take the trouble to read the entire /subject line/ of the proposal before you reply with flames.
This is a proposal from the usability team to re-organise the existing modules into more logical groups, and improve the control-centre (the shell that lists the available modules) user interface so that people can find what they are looking for.
This has nothing whatsoever to-do with re-writing YaST.
I agree. As I stated in my first post, the overall current design of the UI, to me, is fine. But I think, even if everyone has gone off-topic and focused on modules, etc. then that is also valuable information for the OP. Sometimes when you do a survey, you get completely different results than expected. That's the beauty, and downfall of surveys. The beauty of this survey was that it was an open-ended survey, rather than a fixed-form survey. Too often I start to answer a survey, only to find that the questions and possible answers are extremely limited and I know that any answer I give, however close to reality it is, may not give the surveyor the proper picture, and I usually stop at that point. My guess is, Novell will take note that people are focusing on modules and not UI and making the proper assumption that it is modules that need work, not UI. At least, I hope so. I don't think people were wrong to go off-topic, and I think Novell is pleased to see great discussion, however the path it has taken from its original purpose. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
