The best would be to ask to be given an option to disable the automatic updates and the ability to run them on request. Does this qualify for an enhancement request (if it doesn't already exist)?

Other possible vectors: CPU load, RAM/SWAP
usage, network load. Maybe contextkit integration down the line.
And since we're on an input frenzy... with a N900 we could also do:- Light sensor
- Kickstand
- Proxymity sensor
Not sure about the use cases for these, but... that's up to you !

So you could use this to send your IP address to a central server every time you connected to a new WiFi? (Still) thinking of a thief-catching utility...

How about a "Dock mode" when the TV out is pluged and external keyboard and mouse are detected? It could start Easy Debian to turn it into a real workstation.

hmm, i guess one option would be to set the refresh time for the updater to a silly high number, and basically use shepered to run apt-get update at intervals, if wifi is available, but not when phone is.

I would like it if it could put the device in silent mode, and disable all audible alerts, when I am in school.
I guess this could be triggered by time (when I am officially in school), and/or location (when GPS detects I am in vicinity of the school, during school hours).

Sounds like an awesome project!
But the requests list seems to have grown unnecessarily long already.. I think the features list has to be cut really short to cater to the biggest audience first so the development can go swiftly and focused on the core functions intended..
Then implement the rest as plugins\future developments.
Oh, a more descriptive name would help too

In any case, having some ideas how things might develop in the future makes it easier to avoid inadvertently placing nasty dev roadblocks for future development.

It started off as something that you know, herds applications out when the weather is nice and there is grass, takes care they don't run away, and such... hence the shepherd association. Thought it would be lame calling it YASA (yet another scheduling app), Puli would probably also mean nothing to most of of the world... But I'm open to suggestions, at least until the stuff enters extras.PS. For people too lazy to click on the above link:

It's an established fact that I'm bad at naming projects
