SparkManager is currently a very basic Client Version Manager only, I would like to see it provide enhanced capabilities to reduce the need to train users on how to install and configure.
Specifically the ability to set:
Server or Host/Port
PreInstall Plugins
Plugins should be able to be served from Manager instead of Internet
Proxy Config
Preinstalled Conference Room Bookmarks
Join Room on Login
Agreed,
Add to that:
Abiltiy to force some settings like:
Start at boot,
Run in tray,
Remove ability to turn off auto login.
That way, when installed in a corporate enviornment as a communication tool we can insure that everyone is available on it.
It would also be great if there were a way to do a silent install or automate the update of the client. I somtimes cringe when a new version comes out and I approve the update in the manager. It’'s a given that the update process (because it requires so much end user interaction,) will generate at least 20 phone calls a day for a couple days.
Thanks guys – both posts contain excellent ideas. Some of them we’‘ve thought about already and others are some new ideas. I’'ve created a meta-issue to track Spark Manager ideas. Feel free to add ideas via comments or to vote for the issue: SPARK-252.
