[Netswitch-users] future direction of netswitch

[Michael de B. <mad...@ig...>]

Please comment on what I think are the three steps in this script's life:

1.  Figure out if netswitch is potentially quite useful and worth making more
    solid.

    Perhaps ask around in linux laptop forums and mailinglists how people
    currently handle the issue of changing the network settings, for 
    example of going from a DSL static IP at home to a DHCP network 
    at work, to a PPP connection while on the road.

    Does netswitch have the potential to fill a role for these laptop users?
    If no, abandon project.  If yes, what features would netswitch need to
    really work well for these users?

2.  Setup a multi-distribution test-bed.

    Probably use a cheap linux laptop and install 3-6 boot partitions on it,
    each one a different distribution.  First, make netswitch work on 
    multiple platforms. 

    Possibly just have several good beta-tester/developers who each have
    a different linux (other unix?) distribution.

3.  Add features that users wanted, encourage people to sign up for this 
    mailinglist.
