Yes, I should clarify that point a bit. I'm _not_ looking to build a web-application, but as Forest says, a framework. One of the main goals behind the design is to not only allow multiple front-ends, but also to make it possible for every administrative task to be performed through it. So not only should it be able to manage LDAP, but also manage dpkg, control service and be able to view/kill processes. Not all necessarily through the same client. To allow all this the required api will be defined by the server modules that do the needed task, not by the server itself. The only thing that will be centralised is authentication, client-server communication and access control. As for Canonical's Landscape project, never heard of it. The short blurb did not look like what I'm looking for, it also looked non-Free. I couldn't find a spec for it, so until someone gives me more info, I'm considering it vapour-ware.
