The project design (code and interface) seems to be very influenced by NetworkManager, but both code and design wise that project has flaws that Dan and others have spent a lot of time undoing. I don't want to see the same mistakes made 5 years later =) >From a UI side, if your first cut is just replacing system-config-firewall, that seems more than enough, no? How the firewall controls/design integrates with GNOME 3 networking would need someone with actual experience design, but I am just trying to avoid a regression here with yet another part of the OS taking up 22 pixels of screen space permanently. You can use the notification system for transient issues, but I'm *very* skeptical of anything here that isn't just on/off. >From the code side, I think the NM "session" configuration basically hasn't worked; the new NM code will be all system settings. In particular how it works with fast user switching is pretty suboptimal. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
