Already on the list. PPP/Dialup setup is there too, and it's not the same
tool as Networking. It's a completely different thing - telephony.
Regarding the interface work, I commented on that in my "Plans for coming
week - please read" mail, and apart from that, I've mentioned that I'd like a
set of interface design guidelines so we can be consistent now and in the
future.
Then we need a complete refactoring of the interfaces, taking all the
existing interfaces into account. Not just moving a few entries around and
changing their sizes.
Note that this is not a criticism of Taylor's work, only a reminder that we
need to concentrate on the big picture before we start working on the
details.
So far, I've got this general guideline:
- IP entries must be single, free-form boxes.
And I'll fix that for the existing tools.
