Well, all I think would be necessary is a preloaded RSS applet that is tuned into a Fedora feed. - no maintaining of a user list - no actual sending (I think that the majority of the people who would benefit from this won't care that this information isn't actually being spent to them specifically) >> 2) Something takes down the build system, a "infrastructure alert: >> would go out letting everyone know that updates will be dead for x >> hours" > > and that would be sent, where? Ok, I clearly shouldn't have used the word sent. I was just trying to give the image of something more intelligent than an RSS reader, but using the same basic technologies and principles. >> 3) ... i think you get the drift > > not exactly I am thinking in terms of the a "Fedora Radio" which sits on the desktop and lets people know when things are happening, with an adjustable "debug level". So it would just pull stuff from a feed and only display relevant alerts, kind of like those weather radios used in the USA (http://www.weather.gov/nwr/) Something that the user doesn't have to mess with to have it be useful, but can be be messed with to make less annoying (if someone would find that annoying) This is seemingly a lot clearer and logical in my head, will attempt to draw a flow chart or so at some later point. -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com ) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
