I dunno… I’m probably rocking the boat here, but, to be honest, the RT2.x GUI
scares the crap out of me. RT’s a great application, but, on first glance,
RT2.x adds another whole layer of complexity to the GUI that looks to make the
Admin’s life more difficult rather than make it easier… It’s just looking
more and more like something from Remedy (can we say “ewwww!”?)…
We’ll probably be holding on to RT 1.x for a while…

2.0 Acutally makes this much more configurable, though we may not
ship a “full” set of notification options for 2.0.0.
Any idea when 2.0 will be released? Is the CVS version stable enough for use
now?

Yikes!!! And I thought it was going to be just a few “feature” requests
This thing looks huge! I’ll reserve judgement until I see it. It would be
nice if the interface were a little configurable to meet the needs of
different people.
Jesse did a great job with RT1.X, so I have no reason to expect less from him
on 2.0
Seeya,

nod I can see where the desire is to make it do everything for everyone… The
ability to turn on and off ‘features’, including those within the GUI, would be a
nice ‘feature’.

This is true.
My concern is that the design of “everything for everyone” makes it overly
complex, or just plain too much, for those looking for an easy-to-use and
customizable helpdesk system…
matter of personal pref and needs, i think. some of the features like ticket
dependencies and hierarchies could be really useful in my environment. drooling
The design of the 2.0 UI is completely customizable. you can yank anything
you don’t need.
Don’t knock it 'till you’ve tried it.On Tue, Oct 24, 2000 at 11:52:24AM -0400, Richard West wrote:
