Profile entries would be great! We use WPKG very successfully to install most of our software across 600+ PCs. Just got OCSI installed for inventory. We still use IRM for helpdesk though as GLPI won't let us assign a task to a group of PCs (eg "install software on all PCs in room 45").
Would it not just be better to make it so that everyone can add their own custom fields to any inventory item? That way all requests for additional fields would be automatically catered for.

I'm start using (sayed better, get addicted) with WPKG: http://wpkg.org/ an automatic software deployment tool for windows. They use a concept of 'package' for software installation, 'profile' for a set of package, and assign to every host a profile, so a set of package. It is easy to add to GLPI a wpkg plugin, it suffices to add a single, drop-down field 'profile' and do a simple script that dump them in XML (that wpkg use). But... why not to add to GLPI the same 'profile' concept? I think that it is common to install the same software for the same office/workload, and probably even on a complex organization there's no more than half a dozen 'profile' of software installation. Could be a usefoul feature to have the ability to install not 'software', but a 'software profile'? -- dott.
