Call for agenda for Workstation WG meeting 2014-Dec-17

I could request extensive btrfs support - including

1) A 'system restore' GUI interface.
2) a GUI backup tool using btrfis snapshots (this would be quite simple
actually - refer link:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Incremental_Backup)

(Actually I think it would be nice that - if btrfs is used - that there is
a separate login option  for managing backup and restore options and ONLY
THAT - a 'safe mode 'of some kind). Facebook are heavily investing btrfs as
a file system backend (and it will be terrific when FD22 is released), but
I don't expect then them to provide GUI tools)


FYI: SuSE 12.3 has a 'Snapper' application (command line as well as a
simple YaST applet based on "btrfs utilities") but it is very simple and
more a demonstration than really usable IMO. Distributors could work
together on such things.
