Yes the docstring on top. But it is not what you are looking for, it is just an example how to write a script to send email with data from Tryton. And especially how it is short and easy. > > > I will write a functional design in Wiki, feel free to add to it > > > > I hardly doubt it will ever be included in Tryton, because it is just a > > duplication of existing proved technology.

First time I hear that. You should inform everybody in the IT world because you know, they all use email to inform users. > Because you cant control when he will receive He receives at little bit after you send it. > or read > the Email. That the great advantage of email, you read them when you want to. > He may be completely surprised by a system shutdown (because he did > not read it) Just like with your proposal. If someone is out enough time, of course he will be suprised but that's not a problem such person knows that he doesn't know. > But if he works on the system, and gets the popup message, he is informed. > Thats the purpose. So you are annoying user during his work to inform him about a shutdown in some days. Instead of letting him decide when he wants to be informed by reading his emails. More over, if the user is in the hurry to accomplish something, he will just skip the "popup" without reading it. In this case, he will never have the possibility again to be informed. So I see only disavantages in your design and yes my solution is not "hype" nor buzzword but Tryton is not about that. PS: By the way, next time I will make a maintence shutdown on bugs.tryton.org, I will post an issue on it to inform every one that the service is down for maintenance. ;-) -- Cédric Krier - B2CK SPRL Email/Jabber: [email protected] Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
