Re: [Kimchi-devel] Fwd: Proposal for moving functionality from Kimchi to Ginger

Seems we are close to a conclusion on that subject. ;-) Let me resume what we have already agreed: 1) Move software update + repositories + restart + shutdown + console to Ginger 2) Create a new plugin for host basic info + host stats + debug reports My proposal is to have this new plugin under Ginger community responsibility. AFAIU, the Ginger community is for a host management plugin. And as this new plugin is for basic host details, it makes all sense for me. Thinking on that, I suggest to name this new plugin as 'ginger-basic' which will load a tab named 'Host' with host basic information + host stats + debug reports. And 'ginger' plugin will extend this Host tab generated by ginger-basic. It will increase the Ginger community scope and make everyone happy! =) We can also think about splitting ginger into: ginger, ginger-ppc, ginger-z, etc... (but it is an other different topic to be discussed on Ginger community) So from a user and devel perspective, the whole Kimchi Host tab will be moved to Ginger community into 2 different plugins: ginger-basic and ginger. In a simple phrase, Ginger plugins provide a Host tab based on wok framework. To do not get the user crazy "Where is Ginger now?" while loading the updated version, I have 2 suggestion: A) Work with plugin logos! Maybe a pan design to represent wok framework and on top of it all the plugins logos are displayed. To do that we will need a logo for wok and ginger. B) Create a introduction page to show the differences from the older version. The idea behind it is like some Android applications do when get updated. Once you open it, a page is displayed as a layer on top of the application with balloons and arrows to tell "this feature was moved to here"...

Do you agree, Daniel and Walter?
