Hi Steve.
Welcome in OpenLMI. Having a nice GUI is certainly something we still miss so we will try to help you succeed with the project as much as we can.

Hi all, I've had some issues receiving emails from the list, so hopefully this one works.
Some further info on my management GUI project:
- It will be open source (probably on github)
- Qt Quick based
- Similar (but not identical) in functionality and look'n'feel to Windows
Server Manager
- It is motivated by the same reasons that Russell Doty so thoughtfully
explained on his Tech Ponder blog re: Linux management. I see a place for both CLI and GUI interfaces.
- Leveraging OpenLMI for my project has dual benefits: it provides a
useful, consistent mechanism to manage local and remote systems, and it is an opportunity for me to participate in the development of OpenLMI itself (since Linux *badly* needs a unified PowerShell-like management interface)
- Looking a *long* way ahead, I'm interested whether such a tool could be
the basis for, or at least a component of, autonomic computing
Looks good. There is actually one more project that creates a web GUI for the system management and we thing eventually of integrating OpenLMI into it: Cockpit (http://cockpit-project.org/). However I believe there is a place for a desktop GUI as well and it makes a lot of sense for both the solutions to exist. You may be however interested in the Cockpit project since they are or will be probably solving many problems you may encounter as well.
