I haven't go through many codes indeed, but TS-2143 make me sad, I love ATS 
because in most case, we can provide a working solution for your requirement. 
when you grow up, with big volumes, you will find out that ATS still work, and 
you may discover more features than your imagine. it is a good user experience 
compare to some other system, when you find out that the system builder is 
really 'user oriented'.

while we are still on the way to codes revolution, I really don't want we break 
that promise, turns ATS into another low quality codes just because we are free 
as in beer.

most of our active committers are working for big company, with tons of good 
servers, but we have newbies everyday, they need a good start from any point, 
one easy start. ATS is a big monster compare to the others, why can't we make 
it nice for the freshmen?  

things I'd like to keep:
1, feature should be outlined, and should keep revolution in a user friendly way
2, provide basic system 'it just work'
3, user interface changing should get more review before we can release into 
public

I need your input.

thanks

08:11 <@ming_zym> on: TS-2143, I think that is big break on alarm feature, and 
the proxy/example_alarm_bin.sh is total unusable compare to the origin
08:12 <@ming_zym> I think you can not send out any message use it
08:12 <@ming_zym> right?
08:13 <@jpeach> ming_zym: I think swoop is expecting you to use your own script 
that has and email address embedded in it
08:14 <@ming_zym> but why that it is a step forward for our end users?
08:17 <@jpeach> I think that anyone using this would write their own script 
anyway
08:17 <@ming_zym> maybe I can find someone work on the scripts, but the origin 
provide 'it just work'
08:18 <@jpeach> you were using example_alarm_bin.sh script?
08:19 <@ming_zym> I don't think every new coming will hack on the core TS 
system. that is why we provide 'it just work' as in most case
08:21 <@jpeach> I thought that it would be unlikely doe that example script to 
work for any one
08:21 <@ming_zym> I am really sad on every step we move away from newbies
08:21 <@jpeach> production environments tend to be quite different
08:21 <@ming_zym> the origin is just work
08:21 <@jpeach> we should discuss on dev@
08:21 <@ming_zym> at least on Linux
08:22 <@jpeach> if this config is useful, let's keep it
08:22 <@jpeach> I don't have a strong opinion :)
08:22 <@ming_zym> let us move on dev@
08:26 <@jpeach> I'm not sure that there is any site who could use that email 
script without changes
08:26 <@ming_zym> but we use it because it provide a 'just working' example 
there.
08:26 <@ming_zym> I don't think every user will hosting thousands of servers 
like us
08:27 <@jpeach> should the "just working" example send email? or do something 
else?
08:27 <@ming_zym> why shoud they build a complex system to collect those 
message?
08:27 <@jpeach> yes good point
