Other UX work
- I think we should be able to launch single images from Conductor without requiring a deployable XML. To make that easier for users, it would be nice if there was some UI for displaying images that are available to launch.
I know this is going to make me unpopular, but I think we need to re-instate the UI for building images. As a short-term solution, removing it and going CLI-only removed a roadblock for us, but the immediate reaction of (potential) users when presented with it is revulsion.
I know that there is talk about making Katello do it, but I still don't love that solution for 2 reasons:
1) It is a separate place to do things. That is, you'd have to (potentially) log into Katello to do the building, then switch back to Aeolus. I guess I could imagine ways to integrate it into the Conductor UI so it is seemless, but I don't think I can imagine getting those ways in a short time-frame. 2) It is another external dependency. If one of the goals of the project is to keep required external dependencies down, then the Conductor should have its own UI for building images.
Let the flames begin :).
