This is was what I said in the email: if the backend is correctly implemented, everybody can implement a frontend the way they like: - GNOME based - web based - a toolkit idependent library, so you can choose which actual toolkit you want to use: Qt, GTK, ... - ... > > > > As a usability example: I would like to have the ability to make > > > > some improvements (in my opinion) to e.g. you: When downloading the > > > > patches and everything went will I don't want to press the Finish > > > > button myself, I would like a checkbox that gives me the option to > > > > specify the behaviour I described above.

I can only spent my time once like everybody else, is it discussed on the opensuse-edge mailing list?

This means Novell employees are the responsible developer / project manager? Are can somebody from the opensuse community be also responsible for certain packages? E.g. vim 6.4 is released this weekend and I would like a rpm for this: will it be available in the SUSE or other available YaST repositories or should I create my own? > Regards > Christoph Best regards, Aschwin Marsman -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.marsman.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
