[geeklog-devel] GSOC 2009 Proposal

[Tim Patrick]

In regards to the 'phoning home' for updates, I thought of the idea of having the manual update instead of phoning home, but i think it has a big flaw. Suppose for example one of the plugins has a giant security flaw. There is no way to force the user to upgrade, and to be honest most users will not manually check for security updates. Maybe a better idea would be to have a mix of this idea and the phoning home - Manual update for all normal updates, but the manager still checks a security file for updates, for forced security updates.

What do you guys think?

Tim
