UX/Softwaremanagement

[edit]

Current Status

The software section in openSUSE 10.3 contains 10 modules:

Online Update
Software Management
Add-On Product
Automatic Online Update
Community Repositories
Installation into Directory
Media Check
Online Update Configuration
Patch CD Update
Software Repositories

That leads to the following usability problems:

unclear wording and meaning (What'S the difference between online update, automatic online update and online update configuration?)
inefficient working as 10 modules need to be processed by the users mind
unclear workflows (e.g. selected community repositories appear in software repositories)

[edit]

Ideas for Improvement

Merging "Add-On Product" and "Community Repository" module into "Software Repositories" module to have one module for "Add Software Sources".

Overview of all repositories (current "Software Repositories" module)

Add new pre-configured online repository

Add new ftp repository
