Well, basically the idea was around a XML-based
framework for remote configuration and monitoring of
Linux and FreeBSD based appliances. So, we had to
start thinking of the applications necessary since we
would work on an enviroment with resource
constraints(we should develop (or adopt) a small
footprint webserver, XML parser as well as monitoring
and configuration agents). We were not to use any
"bloated" application.
The idea then evolved to a much broader focus (
something like a framework for a MSS Provider) and at
the same time I ran into IPFC which is somewhat alike
what we wanted. My idea is, as of now, having a
completely platform and language independed framework
for not only monitoring but also configure remote
services that would be able to encompass the initial
idea which focus on appliances(i mean, an IPFC branch
focusing embedded systems).
