No, it's actually a good question. I hesitated to talk about it, but I felt this could wait a bit. Personally, I don't do much web development: enough work on liquidsoap, and I only setup webradios without an admin interface or where I'm not the one developping the interface. Not being an expert, I should not and do not promote any one web interface more than another. All I'm trying to do is make sure promising attempts get the publicity they deserve, to try to initiate a community movement that is necessary to get something widely used and maintained over time. So, yes, there have been previous attempts: washtub and also a php interface that can be found on our repository, both by Chris Everest. I hope I didn't hurt anybody's feeling by not citing it in my previous mail. I didn't hear much from those tools recently, and I'm assuming that Chris still uses the django code and left the PHP code behind. Chris, if you want to tell us more about what you're doing and what kind of feedback you got, I'd be interested. A couple differences between washtub and dromey. Django has pros and cons, it's cleaner than PHP and has a very active community, but it's also less used than PHP (which Dromey uses) and can be more difficult to install. Also, dromey has some features than django doesn't have. The converse might be true, too. Really, I don't care which web-interface project survives, and to some extent in which language it's written. I don't have much time for that, and all I hope is to see someone (or more like, several people) that can create a long-running initiative here.
