Xen users - Sep 2007 - Has anyone done a Webmin module for Xen?

I''m looking at the domain creation pains in the neck managing active or
shutdown domains, and the difficulty of monitoring Xen in a 
non-commercially installed setup without having to log into the Xen server.

It strikes me that Webmin has already done a huge amount of the 
necessary user management, resource management, and user interface work 
for just this sort of application. Is anyone developing such a module?

Hmm. Yo puedo leer español. Is it that nice of an interface? Better than 
webmin?

I''m working on a plugin for GNUPanel (http://gnupanel.org) , it is slow
going because all of the function names in GNUPanel are in Spanish :)

The developers say they will have most of it translated (it has an
English language file, its the code itself that is in Spanish) within
the next month. 

I have all of the components done, I just need to make a nice PHP front
end to use them.

Best,

Yeah, its actually a lot better. They also do stats collection
differently, store all of the apache / virtual host stuff in a pgsql
database, its a really well written framework that lends well to
plugins. I''ve never had much luck with webmin.

All that really needs to be done to let ''the world'' work on it
is the
function translations. I believe its about to become an official GNU
project once that''s been completed.

I think there is a demo of the new version available from their site.
It''s not quite as nice as C-Panel/Plesk, but almost.

The last I heard from Jorge (developer), they were working on porting
over the bulk of the PHP stuff for English function names, what would
remain are some of the perl daemons and bash helpers.
