I just got a wild idea. What about an UI design contest?
I know people not familiar with YaST development tend to overlook our ncurses limitations and the implications of using libYUI... but maybe we can still get good ideas.
A GSoC project would be another possibility... but I really doubt such thing would success.
The good news is that the logic for fiddling with devices (Y2Storage) is clearly separated from the UI code (Y2Partitioner), so reimplementing only the latter would be doable (unlike with the old yast2-storage).
Any redesign will require new widgets no matter how hard you try with what libyui provides. Whether it be menubar https://github.com/libyui/libyui/issues/158
I just noticed today the AutoYaST modules has a menu, configured here: https://github.com/yast/yast-autoinstallation/blob/master/src/include/autoin...
I have seen that in the wizard code, it's not particularly portable considering it only works with wizard windows, but I guess it would work in this case. The code seems to indicate this is implemented for libyui-qt and libyui-gtk, but I haven't seen it mentioned in libyui and libyui-ncurses so it might not actually work there?
