Hello <*.*>
This is message is sort of Forward email, yes Luke Kanies if your
there.....! to get more help & Sharing "Best-Practices" from
everyone
there.
Please not that I am not a programmer, yes system administrator, so
from programming point of view, start from Zero…!
That''s Number one Issue, other is Shortage of Time, Just 2 months,
maximum 3 months to implement the theoretical research into a software
product.
Although I have not studied the Puppet with all details and my
Idea is: a Single Sign On Web Interface for systems administrator to
manage multiple servers and workstations for all the activities of
systems administration (you know better and having years of
experience), that Single Web Interface should provide easy, fast,
secure one stop solution, you log on the web page and manage
everything with graphics, reports, configurations etc.
oh there is "Managing Puppet with Puppet Show"
 Link=> reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetShow

that''s the main Point to extend further:
a Centralized systems administration Interface, for example a
"distributed Webmin", you can manage multiple workstations/servers
from simple webpage.
It''s step by step integration process of Puppet with web interface:
(1) How to interact with Puppet Master/OR get updated
information from Puppet to display on webpage,
display current configurations, save into database, show previous
configurations, system admin can view/write/delete/update
configuration on multiple clients/manage Puppet from main  webpage.
(2). My initial idea is use CGI/Ruby/Rails to write the code, however
still trying to draw a clear Line  of Action.......!!!
Time is big matter of concern, especially when you have to code right
from Zero ("Physical- Layer")

Thank you very much for you Time.
