		+
		+	17:46 IOMonster_desk: i'm thinking we should just do a "app X is allowed root access"
		+	17:47 IOMonster_desk: but if they click "details" it'll let them view what command wants to be run
		+	17:47 rwhitby: IOMonster_desk: do we have "allow once" and "allow always" options?
		+	17:47 IOMonster_desk: a neat feature to do (but possibly a security risk if passwords are sent as arguments to a root application) would be to show the last commands ran by an app
		+	17:47 IOMonster_desk: yep!
		+	17:47 IOMonster_desk: rwhitby: it'll have a checkbox for "Remember"
		+	17:48 IOMonster_desk: and it'll remember your decision if you click it
		+	17:48 IOMonster_desk: else, it'll ask you every time
		+	17:48 Jack87: IOMonster_desk, will there be a way to take the apps out of the allow always in the future if you change your mind?
		+	17:48 IOMonster_desk: yep
		+	17:48 IOMonster_desk: it'll have a manager app
		+	17:48 IOMonster_desk: so you can go in and remove or blacklist apps
		+	17:48 rwhitby: That's the SuDoh app, if you launch it from the icon
		+	17:48 IOMonster_desk: any app that asks for permissions will be added to the list
		+	17:48 IOMonster_desk: whether or not you click "remember"
		+	17:48 IOMonster_desk: that way you can do an "always deny"
		+	17:49 IOMonster_desk: if you forgetr to click "remember" the first time
		+	17:49 IOMonster_desk: the manager app can be anywhere from super complex to super simple
		+	17:49 IOMonster_desk: i'm going for a semi-complex setup
		+	17:49 IOMonster_desk: a 2 pane design
		+	17:50 IOMonster_desk: left pane is application names
		+	17:50 IOMonster_desk: with an icon to the left of the name
		+	17:50 IOMonster_desk: indicating "allow/deny" status
		+	17:50 IOMonster_desk: tap on an app, and the right pane gives you more info about the app
		+	17:50 Jack87: IOMonster_desk, youll have to setup two GUIs in that case one for mojo as well
		+	17:50 IOMonster_desk: and possibly a list of the last commands that app ran
		+	17:50 IOMonster_desk: Jack87: yep
		+	17:50 IOMonster_desk: since i dont' know mojo (yet) it'll come second
		+	17:51 rwhitby: or in parallel by someone else
		+	17:51 IOMonster_desk: exactly
		+	17:51 Jack87: it shouldnt be too bad oprolly just be devided into scences rather than panels
		+	17:51 rwhitby: IOMonster_desk: that design will translate well to a phone app
		+	17:52 rwhitby: front scene is list of apps in a scroller, tap on an app to get the details scene
		+	17:52 IOMonster_desk: rwhitby: yep, that was what i was thinking
		+	17:52 IOMonster_desk: basically, every time our app is asked to grant permissions, we'll store that app's name in our database
		+	17:53 IOMonster_desk: er, if it doesn't exist already
		+	17:53 IOMonster_desk: flow is as follows: 1) check if app is on allow/deny list
		+	17:53 IOMonster_desk: 2) if on allow list, allow
		+	17:53 IOMonster_desk: 3) if on deny list deny
		+	17:53 IOMonster_desk: 4) if neither, store app name and present user with dialogue box
		+	17:53 Jack87: how will the apps be identified?
		+	17:53 IOMonster_desk: i'm thinking by name
		+	17:54 IOMonster_desk: i think that's the only way we can
		+	17:54 Jack87: hum multiple apps can have same name at least in launcher
		+	17:54 IOMonster_desk: really?
		+	17:54 IOMonster_desk: that's a bummer
		+	17:54 rwhitby: need to do name, and appid in details
		+	17:54 Jack87: rwhitby, whtats the technical term app id?>
		+	17:54 Jack87: yup
		+	17:54 IOMonster_desk: ah yep thats what i meant
		+	17:54 Jack87: ah ok cool
		+	17:54 IOMonster_desk: i didn't mean like "IORemote", more like com.thecubed.ioremote
		+	17:55 rwhitby: appid is the unique key for the database
