At Tokamak 4 yesterday myself, Sebastian Kügler and Alexander Naumov got together to plan what we want to achieve with Network Management, especially the plasmoid.
* Layout - AI: sebas, distribute mockups. Roughly: continue twin pane approach. LHS shows interface status overview and alternately interface details on click. RHS shows available connections and alternately all connections(wireless networks for which no connection exists) in list. * Hidden networks - broken down the stack. AI: will to fix * Connection sharing - show 'Share this connection' when an active Ethernet or 3G interface is selected * Adhoc - will be presented as 'Create new network' in networks list * Enable networking - missing in knetworkmanager, present in plasmoid * Artwork/icons - Martin Zilz now working on these. We need to show vpn status in the tray icon. Default route icon to be replaced by bold text on interface owning the defaultroute. * NetworkManager 0.8 - since openSUSE 11.3 will have this, all major NM distros are on it, therefore developers should target 0.8 * Mobile Broadband - AI: will to integrate libqmbca this week * Tethering/Bluetooth - AI: will to investigate * Connection details - to be presented modally in the plasmoid popup left hand pane. Initially this pane shows each interface's status, when an interface is clicked the pane shows details of that interface and its connection(s) AI: anaumov * Polishing - AI: agateau to continue to fix paper kuts. * Tooltip - no tooltip on popup, existing plasmoid tray icon tooltip nearly good enough but should show active connection names. * VPNs - AI: sebas to get himself a VPN to use and offer VPN connections in the connection list right hand pane * System connections - AI:will to add support for these in KCM.
