As part of a class project we are developing a user tool for Coda to present client status to the user in a cleaner manner than using Codacon or doing cfs queries. The project is aimed at users of handheld linux systems, but will also be useful on laptops and desktops. The result will be a graphical utility, showing at-a-glance availability information while minimized, and volume/server specific information when open. We are asking for current Coda users to help us in building a tool which caters to the needs of it's users. Please respond to tcrimi_at_andrew.cmu.edu with your answers: 1) Do you run Coda on a desktop, laptop or handheld device(s)? 2) Which graphical toolkits are available on your platforms (FLTK, GTK, KDE, other) 3) How many volumes do you tend to work with? Do you normally stick to a home volume, or interact with many volumes. For how many of the volumes would availablity(strong,weak,disconnected)/quota be important for you? 4) Would you like to see the status of in-progress transfers? 5) Would you use a program which graphically displays the information above? 6) Any other information about coda you would like to see presented?Received on 2001-10-25 15:32:56
