I manage a Freevo box for a club, which is perfect for easily screening media 
and such, but beyond the basic usage, you start dabbling with XML files with 
text editors. I'd like (for both other users and myself) to have a nicer 
interface to be able to manage the content of a Freevo box.

The sorts of things I'd like to see have a nicer interface include:
  *Simple Creator/Editor for XML files (for grouping files, associating 
thumbnails, setting prefs, etc...)
  *File Management: moving/copying files around the place

Is this sort of thing being worked on? (Or already exists?)

I believe this sort of task would be suited towards being web-based (but being 
a web apps designer by trade I'm somewhat biased ^_^). It's not stuff you 
need to do very often, and it requires extra typing (and mouse-work?) beyond 
the standard Freevo interface. If integrated with the Freevo webserver (which 
admittedly I haven't looked at yet), it could be managed from a web browser 
on the Freevo machine itself (perhaps even launched from a Freevo Config 
menu?), or from another machine on the LAN...

I'm tempted to write something myself, but I'm a Perl person, not Python - 
although if there was such a project tied to Freevo, I might force myself to 
learn enough Python to help out. ^_^
