The "view config" option is merely a wrapper around the config.cgi CGI, sin=

that was my very first idea: if I can just drop in a few PHP classes so I=20
have the same functionality current Nagios ui has, then I can go at my own=

pace adding functionality or rewriting CGIs as I feel I can, and still usin=

the byproduct on a day by day basis.
As you can see what you propose is not a technical nigthmare, still it need=

config access abstraction, which is not trivial (since that config can be=20

and the "high level" access interface, so it seems not a few hours task. =20
Anyway I want a graphic configuration tool too, one that does respect any=20
by-hand change I'd do, comments and the like, so there's high chance I'll g=

for it.
On the other hand, you know this is open source: how could you help with th=
