And why should we drop eBox for your new web administration console? Wouldn't it be better to contribute to eBox instead of writing a new one (Ruby is not SO different from perl*). I don't think a duplication of efforts won't be productive unless you have a really different idea, and it couldn't be integrated on it. Even for UCSA which will be a CLI tool (ncurses based) i have been talking to eBox to try to unify efforts and try to reuse code and/or work, not just doing it again. It's just a suggestions, don't take it personal or feel offended with this, that's not why i tried to express, just making suggestions for making things better.
