I like the design screens in the PDF, however it looks like it will be a 
LOT of work! Just one question, how is it intended that this will be 
setup? Will it be a standalone application with included web server 
(twisted-web? I assume it will be python based...).

Are you intending to use Twitter's bootstrap (as that is what the design 
screens resemble)? How about initial implementation, will it be using 
websockets or event driven AJAX? What happens when two people try to 
edit things at the same time? Is there going to be a separate 
database/configuration files or will it be editing config files directly?

I'm not being awkward here, it's just the project I've been working on 
the last 6 months is using some very similar technology and these are 
some of the design decisions I've made (and still attempting to make!), 
so it's more interest and understanding design decisions than anything else.
