Interesting project idea!
Having also used WebMin at a previous job for a few years, I agree with your points about it. I have not used eBox. Just looking at it now, it appears to be a special version of Ubuntu that would run in a virtual machine of some kind.
Although it sounds like a lot more than a single weekend of hacking will produce, this wheel really needs to be reinvented. It would be nice to see this written on Catalyst or Mojo.
Features:
- Publish/Subscribe Eventing System:
It would be nice to be able to "subscribe" to certain events, eg: "user.created" or "module.installed" or whatever.
- Plugin Marketplace:
The ability to buy/sell/give-away-for-free plugins to help manage/install things with this tool would be really nice. You could start with the ability to install packages with yum/apt-get/emerge and go from there.
Probably loads more, but as long as it does what you need, you're done!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
