Interesting project idea!
Having also used WebMin at a previous job for a few years, I agree with your points about it. I have not used eBox. Just looking at it now, it appears to be a special version of Ubuntu that would run in a virtual machine of some kind.
Although it sounds like a lot more than a single weekend of hacking will produce, this wheel really needs to be reinvented. It would be nice to see this written on Catalyst or Mojo.
Features:
- Publish/Subscribe Eventing System:
It would be nice to be able to "subscribe" to certain events, eg: "user.created" or "module.installed" or whatever.
- Plugin Marketplace:
The ability to buy/sell/give-away-for-free plugins to help manage/install things with this tool would be really nice. You could start with the ability to install packages with yum/apt-get/emerge and go from there.
Probably loads more, but as long as it does what you need, you're done!
