Hi Steve.
Looks good. There is actually one more project that creates a web GUI for the system management and we thing eventually of integrating OpenLMI into it: Cockpit (http://cockpit-project.org/). However I believe there is a place for a desktop GUI as well and it makes a lot of sense for both the solutions to exist. You may be however interested in the Cockpit project since they are or will be probably solving many problems you may encounter as well.
Thanks Tomas for sharing the Cockpit. Looking at the source briefly, it seems that it initiated recently by RedHat. and Good to know that RedHat is investing in system management.
As a side note, yet to be released pegasus 2.14 will start having support for REST ful API(CIM-RS) phase by phase and we have put some effort to turn pegasus to serve html pages like a webserver does. Pegasus will be able to accept/yield JSON for any CIM instance in the repository, which can be consumed for GUI.
Sometimes back, was also thinking to put effort in web app using CIM-RS through django which can 1) administer the cimserver including config management, indications subscription management etc 2) Have a traceAnalyser to help debugging 3) and support for Automatic provider Registration etc etc
However, my interest was limited only to help provider developer with a GUI(Not as a full fledged system management app)
Anybody might still be able to create system management app faster without bringing in a separate webserver.
