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"...
I'm ok with both solutions although since we are planning to
redesign the UI in order to improve the user experience I hope
that we are able to do a very good job and make the new
UI-design intuitive enough for the user to find the right
menue points :-)
Do you agree, Daniel and Walter?
I agree.
I agree. Unless someone else has a strong point against it, we
can move forward with this idea,
starting discussions about what needs to be done and how long
we'll need to make it happen. From
the top of my head the most critical point is how to make the
current engine support a plug-in
extends an existing plug-in. We can start there.
