Hi everyone,
we want to redesign the YaST Control Center. Therefore we are looking
for a radical new design.
Why?
The current design is perfectly good, and as close to flawless
as it can be for what it is supposed to do.
This is your chance to share your ideas regarding YaST Control Center.
Keep it how it is!
It works.
Why waste time on unnecessary development (which will then
have bugs), when the SuSE team *COULD* be using that same
time, energy, and attention working on things that are
currently broken.
If you were a shop keeper, and there was a leak in your roof,
or maybe a pipe, would you waste time replacing the plate
glass in the display window?
I've never seen anyone in the user base is complaining
ON ANY FORUM about YAST as it currently exists.
The "Problems" on the wiki page below are nothing
more than issues of cosmetics (appearance) and organization
of the YAST "functionality tree"..neither of which should
require a major overhaul of YAST, only a few minor tweaks.
Please feel free to contribute with mockups and (unconventional) ideas
here: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development/New_Control_Center
All the mockups there have LESS functionality than
the current YAST system. There's no way that your
new control center is going to have just as much
functionality as the current yast without requiring
the window to be larger than the desktop, or to
resort to minimizing the size of icons and labels,
such as in the 3rd and 4th illustrations. YUCK!
Thanks,
Thomas
