[Xymon] Template engine, responsive webdesign, app, rss, ...

[Schoemaker, Marco]

L.S.,

I'm not a xymon specialist, so maybe some of my ideas are already on some wishlist. I'm sorry for that.

I've been going through some of the sources of xymon and noticed there's room for improvements. The HTML code is hardcoded in the sources. I think by separating code and layout, each is easier to maintain and some extra functionality could be added:


-          responsive web design to improve displaying on tablets and smartphones;

-          and/or develop app to support alerting etc on tablets/smartphones;

-          add RSS feeds for interactions (alerts, enabling/disabling services, ...);

-          opt-in/opt-out system for alerting etc;

-          e-mail interface for alerting, acknowledgements, services, ...;

-          single-sign-on for administration;

-          personal pages, per user layout, ...

If I could/would add some of these wishes, would you be interested in adopting those in the original xymon sources? If not, what's the best way to as for or offer changes?
