yes. the rule is that there is a list of users who allow anybody to
write to their darcs repo. currently they are "xbit krix vmiklos". the
repo is owned by me, so it's writable via darcs for every developer

at the moment i've just written a Makefile system (hopefully flexible
enough for later purposes) and it contains only the netconfig utility.
the plan is to split the 1) dialog 2) netconfig  and 3) the general
utility functions to 3 separate libs, and then add timeconfig,
mouseconfig etc to the repo. those are currently shellscript tools, but
using the dialog and the general util libraray it should not be complex
to rewrite them in C. by splitting the configuration functions from
netconfig (like is_wireless_device() and so on) it should be easy to
write gtk or qt graphical utilites

what i would like to be done till 0.5 (probably till pre2) is to convert
all the *config scripts to use 1) libfwutil 2) libfwdialog
3) libfwfooconfig (each lib per config tool)

till the "split-out" of the 3 libs (from netconfig) is not done (i plan
to do it in a few days) you can't do too much, after that the big help
would be to write something like gnetconfig or so. of course as it will
be the first gtk config utility so that you're recommended to create
something like libfwgtk for the functions you thing will be usefull for
other configuration utilities

in short: please wait a bit and then you can help a lot, and this whole
"2000libs for nothing" idea will be clear, i hope :)

udv / greetings,
VMiklos
