Makes sense. I'm very interested in that project. If I can get a sneak peak,
I'd love that!
I don't think a web-based UI would be appreciated by most Fedora
spins. Among other things, web technologies are considerably less
accessible, can be difficult to navigate, and add more resource
requirements to the system to actually run. The only significant
benefit of a web based GUI is that you could do the installations
remotely a lot more easily since you only need a web server and a
browser elsewhere, not a VNC server and a client.
Making it easier to maintain and further develop the GUI would be good
to do, though.
