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. > But I'm not sure if there is a such demand presently.
