A power status indicator would be pretty darn neat.
As for custom power management types, I've added "power_type" to "USES_SELECT" 
in field_info.py. Will the custom types get added to the list of choices 
automatically?

Yes, the way around this is to symlink your script to /usr/sbin/fence_yourname 
and make sure it accepts parameters on STDIN rather than via command line 
arguments and you should be fine.

There is a power status check currently, though apparently it may need some 
work as even the fence_* commands don't return consistent output.
At some point, I would like to add a simple status check to the web GUI.
