[Maas-devel] xml-to-yaml

Hi Newell,

Thank you for taking care of this and starting the thread. This screenshots
are definitely a good start. I'm CC'ing Carla so she can give us her
opinion on the Design point of view.

I like the idea of having different tabs for the type of output. A few
suggestions:

Improve the color selection for the Node View page. (Please reach out to
Carla for some suggestions).

In the "*commissioning_results_list"* image, I think it would be ideal to
only show the "OK:" instead of "OK: YAML, XML".

Instead of providing totally different pages for the commissioning results
per node (*xml_lshw, yaml_lshw*), I'd suggest you provide just one page
with Tabs to differentiate between the output type (Exactly the same way as
in the Node View)

Thanks again for taking care of this.
