    v1 v1  
     1= Aperture Configuration Service = 
     2 
     3Basically, we need a gui to add datasources, remove them and configure them. 
     4 
     5Also, the crawling behaviour is needed to be configured (crawl every X minutes, etc) 
     6 
     7 * Edit datasource config  
     8   * add datasources 
     9   * remove datasources (including crawled resources from ResourceStorage) 
     10   * edit datasources config (including deleting crawled resources) 
     11 * Edit crawling behaviour - when, what to crawl 
     12 
     13= auto-configuration and datasource discovery = 
     14 
     15As detailed in UseCaseInstallationGnowsisFindsMyStuff We need a way for aperture to locate possible datasource. 
     16ticket:147 is assigned to hack this. 
     17 
     18This is a bit tricky since it's: 
     19 
     20   1. Platform dependent 
     21   2. Very different for different datasources  
     22 
     23In a way, each datasource implementation should have a method "find"/"location"/"isAvailable" or similar... 
     24 
     25    * FileSystem? - this is easy - we just point it at "My Documents" or "/home/username/" 
     26    * Thunderbird - again, if the user has a $HOME/.mozilla-thunderbird directory. This changes in different versions of thunderbird... (what version do we rely on anyway?) 
     27    * Firefox - same 
     28    * Outlook - i know nothing. 
     29    * ?  
     30 
     31Maybe this could be a separate ticket for each one?
