I vote against this. I LIKE easily understood text files, since I
configure Hobbit with a text editor. If there were to be an

tasks, then I would cease to care how the files are stored.

Subject: [hobbit] xml configs
Hey Henrik,
I know this would be a rather significant change but have you considered
switching hobbit to use xml based config files? I'm actually working on
an external module that will use an xml config file and thinking about
the schema, etc it occurred to me that hobbit would lend itself nicely
to xml configs.
Just curious...

We use scripts to build config files, especially bb-hosts and all of it's included files. I'd need a bunch of cycles to move that to xml, if only because I haven't (yet) done a lot with xml in scripting.
A gui would not help me at all. We automate everything we can with perl.
