(Forgot to cc to the list ... here you are)

Hi,

i've just tested it again.

First thing i noticed: please link http://www.freewrt.org:3000/ to
http://www.freewrt.org:3000/config. It's a quite strange site you see if
you forget to type in the "config".

Second thing i noticed: the rather bad layout and style.
It's fixed to 800x600, while most users have more than double the space
on their screen. Especially for the device/packet selection lists, more
space is really needed, and there is no reason not to use at least the
full vertical space.
Theese lists could also take some color to distinguish the individual
rows, for example one row white, the next row light grey, the next one
white again ... you know what i mean.

I'm currently not able to actually test the generated image, so no
"works/doesn't work" statement... but some ideas for enhancements:

Make the config file downloadable, and a "upload an old config" option,
to be able to build a second image with only some few packages changed.
Or a option to include it to the image file as bz2, so i don't have to
care about storing it somewhere.
OR
Store the config on the server with the image id, and let the user input
his id to work on his config again. And include the id to the image, so
no-one forgets.

Let the user include his own files to the image (like the mypackage
package in the buildroot).

The ssh-key include thing is a real killer-feature, include it to the
wib.

And i worry about the performance of the wib once the floodgates open
with the 1.0 release. It does run on the same machine with the
webserver, svn and mailinglists, right? It should be reniced to not
disturb the other processes since a dedicated box is overhead now.
And some limitation on how many images can be generated from a single ip
in a fixed ammount of time, to prevent a "DoS". You know, there are some
people out there not liking the FreeWRT project ...


So, that's all for now, have a nice weekend!
