I'd rather see tmda-cgi extended to fill in some of the gaps between
it and qadmin-tmda. I believe Greg is working on some of this
functionality, but I'm sure he wouldn't turn down some assistance.

I'm not in favor of making tmda-cgi into a hand-free magic
installation tool however, as I think they are more trouble than they
are worth.

The problem with magic guis is that they may help you get running
faster initially, but then you have no idea what it did or how TMDA
works. Later when you run into problems, you'll be less able to figure
them out then if you had struggled a bit in the beginning with a more
hands-on install. In the end, you'll have wasted more time with the
magic gui. Time spent learning is never lost time. Maintaining and
supporting a magic gui also tends to be a huge time-sink.

qadmin-tmda is written in Perl AFAIK.
