Your Name Question/Comment
Jonathon Robison I'm curious about the current status of bugs regarding NetworkManager and NetworkManager-kde. Since early in 10.2, I have tried it over and over and always with the same poor results (very very slow with normal WEP, iffy with WPA, screwed with LEAP). The bug listing is extensive and proves that I am not alone. Do we plan on focusing some effort on this area? Personally, instead of replacing if-up/if-down, I'd prefer if the GUI was just that - a GUI wrapper around the normal (proven) ifup system.

I can't make the meeting (I have a staff meeting at that time) but I would love to read of the group's views afterwords.

Palimpseste Would it be possible to pay a closer look at the several wishlists that exist? For instance the yast wishlist has some very interesting (at least in my eyes interesting) proposals. For instance, on the yast feature wishlist the recently added module proposed by Gallwapa is a good idea but there also much older proposal that seemingly haven't been looked at for quite some time. And IF the developers do pay attention to these lists then please redesign the system so that those making the proposals can take notice of this attention. There is no sense in wishlists that nobody seems to read. So some kind of feedback would be nice, is a proposal considered, is there already something similiar being worked on? I know that this will cost some time but if this effort is too much for you then please just delete these lists. Deleting the lists would be very sad but it is better than frustrating users who come up with ideas and do not get feedback.

Redisigning does not mean that one has to create a ticket system or something in that manner it is toally enough if there would be a checkbox that gets checked if a developer took note of an idea put on the wishlist. Add perhaps a second mark that tells the occaasional visitor to the wishlists if the idea is already worked on or if it is consedered for integration and that's it. Alternatively, if this is too much effort, then why not creating a simple system that allows voting for an idea? If a proposal got enough votes it should be worth a closer examination.
