Hi Jeff,

I'm quite new to Voyage, but AFAICT this is in the TODO list...

Currently I'm using webmin (there's a Debian package available at
http://www.webmin.com), although it's mainly intended for full servers
rather than embedded appliances. I think that writing "the web
interface" for Voyage would be a nice project to work for.  A lot of
interesting ideas could be borrowed from other distros:

http://m0n0.ch/wall/screenshots.php

I'm just talking about "ideas" because the configuration backend in
those systems is *very* different from a Debian-based one!

A "lightened favour" of webmin (w/ some voyage-specific module) would
be another interesting path to explore, imho.
