Hmmm.. But this is only a test version! IMHO, you shouldn't expect that
someone writes the _complete_ stuff at this stage, where it wasn't decided
yet which direction to take.
If I were to write such a tool, I'd do it the same way as Ruslan did - to
implement _some_ of the functions to let people get a feel of it, and wait
for comments. Otherwise, I'd waste much time for writing the code which
would eventually end up in /dev/null...
So, what is the minimal set of tasks that should be implemented in a test
version of admin tool, before you (or someone else from the team) will
consider it "nice AND worth pursuing" ...?
