No I meant destinations like 'transact this', though I guess you could just put a checkmark on the package in a list but there's something visibly useful about having a box/window/field you drag the packages into. > I think the first thing that needs to be asked in this whole > conversation is "Who is the target audience for this tool?"

That's a good question. I was mostly thinking about this as not a new-user tool. The new user tools are the single-task-oriented items. I was thinking more of it as a gui tool for people who want to see everything. I dunno. I was sorta just thinking aloud. > So Seth, since you're ostensibly going to be doing the bulk of the > coding work on this, who's the target audience here? =) no clue. I don't even know if I'll have time to work on it. I was just sorta throwing ideas out. -sv -- Fedora-config-list mailing list Fedora-config-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-config-list
