The configuration issue is an important one.  More and more web server
admins are everyday managers, and as such, despise xterms and config
files.  For them, running IIS means having a highly-pretty tabbed
configuration dialog that they can point and click with to their hearts'
content.  Apache has been lacking this, and I ran into some Tk or
Athena-based visual config file editors for apache, but, well, they
were Tk and Athena-based, which are not that much prettier than an
xterm. :)
Does anyone know of a visual, pretty config file editor for Apache?  I'm
thinking this would make a cool summer project, especially if planned and
designed well, maybe even using some cross-platfrom toolkit such as
Mozilla's XUL.  Making it modular would be key as well, so that Apache
module writers could easily and quickly write a little something (xml
file?) that would neatly snap into the config file editor as another
Tab or something.

Please forgive my outload thinking and offtopicness. :)
