Mh... To me it looks like it will fail to blend in the system properly no matter what you do... Can I drop a package on the app to install it ? Likely not. Does it work if Web+ is not installed / crashed and you need to reinstall it ? Can it use the Locale Kit for strings in the rendered webpages ? Maybe, but not easily. I think you can get started fast with a web UI, but you will have a very hard time reaching the same polishment and straightforwardness a native GUI can offer. Also, I already started a package manager UI, it just needs to be fleshed up with plugging it to the actual tools. -- Adrien.
