okay, point taken. I still think, tough, that from a design point of view we should make it possible to separate the the administration server from the httpd server itself (rather obvious) and that we try to at least structure in a code that lends iteslf to easy redesign where the user interaction can be replaced with a protocol layer to talk to the GUI.

ultimately, the GUI should just talk some protocol to the server, but I can live with a browser and HTTP for now. as far as the final GUI is concerned I guess the least common denominator for machines running X is Xt and the Athena Widgets -- hardy what we would like to see? :) perhaps we could look at the library used in The Gimp?

okay, but lets save that for later.

since there has been a happy event in my life the last few days and I'm in a state of euphoria I haven't had too much time to think and I would very much like there to be a "Apache GUI Status page" or something of the sorts. for internal use. mail has a tendency to be a tad chaotic when you receieve ~200 messages per day.

somewhere to check in once a day or a few times a week to see what the state of affairs is and where I can offer my spare time to do some good, instead of searching through email.
