[09:52] <doctormon> I have a work item here for the connectivity checking session: What, if anything, does the design require or plan to show the user regarding the status of the internet or network connectivity?
[11:18] <mpt> doctormon, I don't understand the question
[11:20] <doctormon> mpt: Network status, top right hand corner, regarding indicator icon and popup info. When we have better information from networkManager about the state of the network connection, does the design want to do something different?
[11:20] <mpt> doctormon, I guess it depends exactly what "better" means
[11:20] <doctormon> Example: Android devices show a grayed out icon if the device can't contact google servers, but is on a network.
[11:21] <doctormon> Apps will have access to a networkManager status indicating level of connectivity.
[11:21] <mpt> excellent
[11:22] <mpt> Presenting the "You're behind a wi-fi gateway" situation would involve changes to the menu, and to the Connect dialog
[11:23] <doctormon> The session called it a 'captive portal' and there may be in future non-nm services or apps which authenticate automatically through these portals.

[11:23] <doctormon> For now, the interest is simply in the status indication.
[11:30] <mpt> captive portal, that's the phrase I was trying to remember
[11:31] <mpt> doctormon, so please add a work item for the design if there isn't one already.
[11:31] <doctormon> mpt: to the pad or somewhere else?
[11:31] <mpt> doctormon, the blueprint
[11:33] <doctormon> mpt: I'm putting in your nickname
[11:33] <mpt> ok
[11:33] <mpt> thanks
