So can we break this down into pieces so people can look at starting on
this.
The most important modules for my use which I'd like to see worked on
are:
Samba
Samba / Unix user and group management
Share descriptions
Configuration with LDAP and tdbsam (kerberos)??
Cups
Creating and destroying printers
Queue management, deleting jobs etc
DNS
Easy DNS setup
Custom commands
Interface like Webmin but better and more flexible
Services
Enable / Disable
Start / Stop services
Web or cross platform PyGTK interface, kind of lean towards the later.
Console interface, maybe just a set of commands or ncurses.
That's a start anyway.
