Not really, I am trying to express that we need to have some service that makes the API of the modules in the "Configuration Modules" layer available. The API itself should still be the same, issue GET or POST GET (network.getHostname) POST (network.setDomainname) vs. the other user interfaces import yast3.network yast3.network.getHostname() yast3.network.setHostname() But it may not be this simple, not a web developer ;) > - Maintaining a distinct UI-lib plus Qt and Ncurses besides the Web UI > will need a lot of resources.

The pictorial representation is not good, will think about how to improve it. I think we should target something like the following pseudo code: myConfigGui.extension import yast3.myConfigBackend import yast3.gui_elements text = yast3.gui_elements.text_box() The gui_elements module takes care of QT vs. Gtk+ vs. ncurses, of course that is not cheap as far as effort is concerned.
