Do you refer to the link peter has posted? In that case "mess" is not
the right word. Things would get "messy" if everyone could throw out
half baked ideas with some screenshots, dump them on opensolaris and get
on with life (this is not a critique of your project).
A few random notes about your project:
I do see a need here and maybe your approach using ssh commands over the
wire might work out. Your biggest competitors I know of are vpanels and
cim-server, both have drawbacks and if you are clever you might win ;)
a. CIM-server is *potentially* a great solution but has not seen much
activitiy recently. It is complex and without support from SUN and ISVs
it might be too much work for OpenSolaris.
b. I can't say much about VPanels except it looks like they haven't
decoupled the GUI stuff and the integration into the Gnome
Settings/Preference menu is a huge mistake (IMO).
So if you want to outsmart those:
1. Make it easy for contributors to write plugins.
2. Make it easy for contributors to write plugins.
3. Use a plugin system with clear interfaces people can use to implement
their own stuff.
4. Decouple the commands from the GUI so you can expose the
functionality to other interfaces (Web, command line).
5. Look at the sourcecode of "trac" how they designed the plugin system
and how they use interfaces to make it easy to write plugins.
