I was told this is where these kind of things are discussed.
You're suggesting a very interesting project, yet one that is likely to depend on a fair amount of new development. Do we have other instances of this being asked by people, such as on Ubuntu Brainstorm (I'll look too)? It would be important to know, before committing time to work on such a thing, how important it's perceived to be by our users. Keeping in mind that there can be a very large number of connections happening on a machine at any point in time, what kind of information are you looking for? Is it to see everything that attempts to make a connection or just what gets blocked by a firewall? Do you want to see notifications on the desktop or are you looking for this at the server level? All the above are information that would be best to flesh out a bit in advance before starting discussion just so that work items could be derived from the resulting discussion. Obviously, you don't *need* to discuss a project like this at UDS. Perhaps it's just something people can start working on as a project, and ask for specific things needed in Ubuntu to support using such an application/service Kind regards, Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu...@ubuntu.com> Freenode: cyphermox, Jabber: mathieu...@gmail.com 4096R/EE018C93 1967 8F7D 03A1 8F38 732E FF82 C126 33E1 EE01 8C93 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
