Hello all, Briefly: In the last DebConf at Brazil, some of us had the idea for creating a Debian configuration tool (similar to those control centers on other distributions) oriented for desktop/newbie users due to the lack of some general and _complete_ integrated tool to make a general configuration. At DebConf, Gustavo Noronha organized a BOF to talk about all these things[1]. Although it only ended on a talk, without proper decisions. We have discussed some ways and ideas to handle other tools, for example, the configlets, or gkdebconf, config4gnu, as well as other nostalgic tools (webmin, linuxconf, etc). The main idea for the (not yet a name proposed and probably named as) Debian Control Center is to bring users the capacity to make a complete configuration of «everything» in their systems, with portability on mind, to let it use on any graphic toolkit (and even with a web-based port, CLI-port, etc.), and of course with easy and (hopefully) eye-candy manipulation. What have it been done? Nothing yet, there are many people interested on helping on this, although we have no plans or work done yet. This is why we want to invite every interested person to get involved on the project and participate in the IRC meeting-brainstorm which will be celebrated next Sunday, July 18th 2004, at 16:00 GMT, at #debian-desktop on irc.debian.org. This effort is also done to impel and work on Debian Desktop subproject. Thanks in advance, 1: http://lists.debian.org/debian-desktop/2004/05/msg00025.html -- David Moreno Garza <damog@damog.net> http://www.damog.net/ PGP 356E16CD - 84F0 E180 8AF6 E8D0 842F B520 63F3 08DB 356E 16CD
