BBWin configuration gui

Hello,

Is there any plan to have a configuration GUI for the BBWin?  Something similar to the BB client for Windows.

Not that I care about editing the XML config file manually (the file is quite simple and the documentation is clear).  But the Windows administrators where I installed Hobbit would love to have a fancy GUI because their "other" tools have a GUI (BB, MOM, ipsentry, NetIQ, name it...).

Is there somebody that already created one or is working on one? (I might be late in the news)

Thanks

Pierre

From what I know the new version (hoping it's in the next one) will have
the possibility to centralize the configuration like normal hobbit
client so you can define all the warning and checks in one point. At
that point it would be nice to have a gui/web interface to edit the
hobbit central configuration if it's all in one server. A gui is nice
but when you've to deploy/configure more then 100 server it's a bit time
consuming to work with.
 
I don't know if a gui is planned but I've not read of one being
developed.

Look on the BBWin list archives...I seem to recall this coming up fairly 
recently...

Hello,

You're right.  I look at the BBWin list and there is nice features under work for v1.0.  According to the feature list  Etienne had planned for v1.0, he planned to include a graphical (GUI or Web) tool for configuration or a centralized hobbit mode.

I encouraged everyone interested in BBWin next releases to subscribe to the BBWin list, take a look at the archive list and the forum pool (the forum is where the future features are listed).

It look like Etienne is working hard on theses features.  Thanks!

Pierre
