BTW, I have packages of karamba-0.22 and superkaramba-0.30, but I need some opinions on what to do with them. karamba-0.22 doesn't run many new themes (since most of them were developed after karamba-0.17 for superkaramba), but they may have some conflicts. Also, I will try and make a themes package including most useful themes with ratings >75%. >> >>I think an office with 200 or so Mandrake machines doing this wouldn't >>have an Internet link any more, and an individual without a permanent >>Internet link would find it annoying. >> >>However, the option of running some other app (besides the clock) on >>KDM's screen would be very attract. I'd be wanting to be sure that >>whatever app it was didn't run as a user with any serious privs. Of course, was my first thought. If we are going to try this, I think the first thing we need is some karamba themes that implement the pieces we want, while someone investigates running karamba in kdm ... but the themes would be useful even without this. > some suggestions : > - hourly fortune messages > - hourly tips/help messages > - daily mdk ads > - daily updates/security updates if available If mandrakesecure.net had RDF this wouldn't be too difficult. Vince? Also, IMHO MandrakeClub gets too little exposure, maybe new articles and entries in RPM Voting would be interesting. But for my own purposes (we're firewalled so bad nothing can get out without proxy authorisation, so web-based stuff is useless), I would prefer things like: - -how many users are logged on - -uptime stats (so you can see CPU/mem utilisation without logging in) - -maybe /etc/motd? So, I think those who are interested should proceed by: - -making good Mandrake-themed (ie the new bootsplash themes) karamba themes - -investigate running karamba in kdm Also, it would be interesting to investigate the equivalent (of Mandrake themes for karamba) for gdesklets.
