Very interesting - thanks and welcome! As I've mentioned to David Van Assche recently, you can think of "initial setup" as something that the rpms themselves do, or scripts in xs-config. The calling of puppet is to manage thousands of servers -- following a bit the tradition set forth by infrastructures.org Initially, I would propose - good puppet recipes - integration with dashboard You may find there's more benefit in creating dashboard "modules" (I assume dashboard is modular) -- maybe those write puppet snippets that are just a recipe, or maybe they drive something that is a puppet module. But the real ease of use (for the admins) comes from having a nice UI in dashboard. Example dashboard modules that control... - enable and control OpenDNS filtering - deploy a new XO OS img, and trigger the upgrade - deploy/manage Activities that the XS serves - deploy/manage static content (html, css, ogg) that the XS serves I suspect there is enormous value in developing this area. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list server-de...@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
