In reference to user interfacing, I was considering developing an
ncurses based editor. I generally don't install X libraries on servers
(wish Solaris made that an easy process), so I wanted something terminal
friendly. I have noticed a couple really good projects (such as SELinux
Policy Editor), but they are based on X. I will kick that idea around
further, but please let me know if something already exists or if you
have any design suggestions.

We must create it! :-)
