Responses to multiple e-mails rolled into one... First, a point of order. In my view of the world, there are two major issues currently being discussed:
- Modifications to sh-httpd (the actual web server) to enhance it's ability to be used as the front-end for a web based configuration tool - The modification, extension, or complete re-writing of the html pages and cgi scripts that currently makeup the "weblet" status application that currently ships with Dachstein, allowing enhanced web based monitoring and even configuation. I think it would probably help prevent confusion if mods to the web server itself refer to sh-httpd, while issues related to making html/cgi code to monitor or configure the system use the weblet moniker. With that out of the way, I completely agree with the idea of forming a "group" to work on the weblet portion of the configuration problem. This can probably be done with very little effort completely within the bounds of the existing LEAF SF project. With a CVS directory somewhere in the existing LEAF tree, folks can share code and updates, and even developers w/o LEAF SF developer status can check-out code and posts diffs to the leaf-devel mailing list (much like the way the busybox list works...I've sent in several bug-fixes to busybox that got incorperated into the main code-base, but am not a registered busybox developer). I think the leaf-devel mailing list will work fine as a communications mechanism for now, and we can always make a new leaf mailing list if the traffic gets too high for the leaf-devel list (unlikely, at least for now). On the sh-httpd front, I don't think there will be a lot of work required, and sh-httpd is already in the LEAF CVS tree, so probably a few leaf-devel posts (and a lot of beta-testing) is all that's required. I can commit to help with the sh-httpd mods, and I think I can improve the performance of cgi scripts dramatically. I can probably help with a bit of the html/cgi scripting (ie general architecture and maybe solving any thorny scripting issues that crop up), but I don't have time to commit to a huge chunk of the project. It looks like Richard's generally headed in the right direction with his mods to the existing html/cgi code, especially with the abstraction of the content. Has anyone else made much progress along these lines, or should work start on using Richard's framework to start building a web-config architecture?
