Aaron's installation questions got me thinking about the UI for the installer and the challenge of doing the initial configuration. We don't really want people editing plans (vi + an XML file does not seem user-friendly to me) so how can we provide them an alternative. How about if we added a UI component to the configuration bundle? So in addition to the state file (config.ser) there was also a UI component that the bundle could provide for editing its manageable persistent attributes. This would have the advantage of allowing each bundle to provide a better UI than a set of name/value pairs, and would avoid hard coding any particular UI code into the installer. -- Jeremy
