Happens that I had some spare time yesterday and filled a new page on the wiki with some of the idea that were discussed on this list about the configuration mechanism. Just to bootstrap a documentation on this: http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/BoxConfiguration Also made a new page describing how owners would do the first configuration step when getting their brand new FB, to begin to note some ideas : http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/FirstHandsOn And added some brain dump about the user interface as well: http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/UserInterface This notes aren't decisions, just what I was able to remember from the discussions without reading all the old threads. bert. _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
