That gets my +1 – not that mine is worth much :-) Would be great to see more service types in the neighbourhood. I can imagine a control panel module for each service type that either auto populates a list (if at all possible/practical), or/and allows entries to be manually added. A current example would be jabberd services (or whatever formal name we want this, collaboration server (?), it's not the same as an XS); would be nice to have a CP module that you can add** a list of servers to, then each would be shown as an icon in neighbourhood, a simple click would switch your jabber server. **Perhaps an XS if present would provide the default list so it's manageable. --Gary > On Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 4:42 PM, Aleksey Lim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> I'm going to add patch to remove "Register" button from sugar >> packages for >> altlinux.
