[Freedombox-discuss] :Configuration: Next Steps?

Hi folks, I've been thinking of taking on one of three sub-projects for
the FBX, and was unsure which would be most helpful at this point, or
(more importantly) if there was anyone else also working on these or
similar projects?

1. Completing/perfecting the dpkg web-config front-end.

   This seems necessary if we want people to be able to manage their
   FBXs from the internal web-server, which I think we do.  I know there
   was mention, on the mailing list, of a project in motion a while ago,
   but it was incomplete or abandoned, as I recall.

2. Moving the FBX setup scripts to Plinth (if it can yet support system
   configuration), or another web-frontend (Pylons/Pyramid?).

   Would Plinth be able to handle the job?  Is anybody else working on a
   similar setup-in-the-browser project that I could join?

   This will need to be done at some point, and my setup scripts are
   starting to get too unwieldy for their current form.  I wrote them in
   Bash so they'd be easy to hack on; no other reason.  In Bash, each
   line *is* the command executed, so it's trivial to change the
   scripts' function.  However, their structure is starting to outweigh
   their function.  Bash is notably terrible at handling structure.

3. Add a wiki to my plugserver setup scripts.

   I don't really need help with this one, but will prioritize it based
   on any feedback I get.

Folk, thanks for any comments, feedback, or direction you can offer.
E-cookies to anybody who's already working on any of these :)

Nick
