I have started to work on some patches that will change the way that we manage the collection of enabled roles (hiera for the puppet nerds in the audience). When I was talking to Ori about this he had an idea that I dismissed initially, but which might actually be a cool thing to do. His idea was to make the role toggling be manageable via a web interface on the VM's webserver. I think his actual idea may have involved making a MW extension that managed the entire local hiera settings file. I'm not sure that I'm in love with the wikiification idea, but if we want a cross-platform interface with search, sort and grouping... a web app seems like a reasonable thing we could create.
