* will work like a magnet, attracting more users * less troubles -> less support questions to answer * standardised reporting, like for: diagnostics, usage, optimisation, etc * not only configuration, also monitoring / analysis / statistics * more time available for development of new functionality ;-) * and a lot more... I also noticed that you worked until june 2007 on a new GUI (Pacemaker), but did understand it frooze. As with other projects, tearing off the road means dividing resources instead of joining them. For others to work on the GUI, they depend on perfect cooperation regarding the roadmap of HB. The current GUI did break my config so i had to restore the backup-copy, now we use it only for simple tasks. We feel like watching and controlling HB through a peep-hole, not easy to take prompt action sometimes, therefore you have to live with bigger escalation of problems, as you need too much time to control.
