It is clear, but editing the configuration files manually is not the appropriate solution for the DUG. Instead, the documentation should indicate how the desktop user can use the Edit Repositories option in pup and pirut. Again, focus on ease of use and GUI desktop usage wherever possible. > > > You need to set up file-sharing which I would call desktop capability a > > > server set up would be an administration part.

This is not ideal, and I would call this a bug unless both of us are doing something very wrong. I thought one of the points of ConsoleKit was to be able to punch a hole in the firewall for personal files sharing. In the meantime, I would simply document the behavior indicating that the user should consult the AG for firewall configuration info. > I've got a lot of questions like this which is the essence of the > original email.

Unfortunately I don't have the cycles to do it, but you are welcome and encouraged to start such a list, and float it to the mailing list for discussion. I think that's a very thoughtful process, and I'm sure others will pitch in their ideas. -- Paul W.
