I read the "Creating a lens" tutorial and I realize that augeas is an

Anyone interested in playing with it?
I'm all in. Can you suggest a place in yast2, where I can start?
One thing is enabling the use of Augeas. I think we should use the
existing Perl or Ruby bindings (we don't have RPMs yet) and write
some helper/wrapper for the YCP modules.
Also we can look at the current agent usage:
grep -h '^`ag_' /usr/share/YaST2/scrconf/*.scr | sort | uniq -c
(spoiler alert: Ini is the most popular, with Any the second)
and decide where the low hanging fruits are for replacement.
Is the current INI agent is plain C++ right now?
I saw more naturally a design where the basic augeas agent is built as a
C++ agent linking to libaugeas, and then the derived agents are
specified as an .scr referencing ag_augeas and adding additional
information like inlining the lense description.
