Yes the webadmin will be published, but since its my first time with php it will take a While to make it do exactly what i want it to do.. Initially it will only support mysql databases but when i learn more it will support Postgre and other database types dbmail will support... I started making it like 4 days ago so it wont be ready for beta testing for another couple of weeks Since time is something i dont have too much of...
And if someone feels like helping out with the group patch let me know.
