1. Getting Hobbit added to major linux distributions
Would be nice. This is one area of Hobbit work where everyone on this
list can make a contribution. Hobbit includes a "hobbit.spec" file for
building rpm packages, and the Debian folks already have .deb's, so
for most distro's it would be very little work to add Hobbit,
2. Moving away from "legacy" filenames and variables.
The bb-hosts file is about the only one left. My intention has been to
keep that name until Hobbit moved away from the file format in bb-hosts;
something which I've been wanting to do for a while. The bb-hosts format
is getting rather overloaded, and I really don't like the way it mixes
the host configuration with the web page layout definitions. So this is
going to change sometime.
3. Encryption of Hobbit data transmissions. I get this seemingly every time that I am explaining Hobbit..."is the data encrypted?" When I say no its *gasp!* "But it is sending sensitive information, process lists, logfile entries...over the network!".
Yeah ... well, I should add some SSL support to the protocol.
4. Maybe a new website? [...] I know Henrik has said in the past that he is not a web or UI designer, so perhaps we can find volunteers to spruce things up.
Yes - please!
