First of all, you're not BC bashing by any means, and I think a bunch of us
on the list probably appreciate the example situations in which BC
will/does/or could operate. I agree that it is necessary that administration
services make our lives as web site developers easier when utilizing a
solution like BC that make redundant tasks unecessary.

Personally, I don't really like the idea of multiple instances of BC as they
will be duping the same utilities, however, I don't like the idea of complex
dir trees for simple sites either, with a template here and a module there
in seemingly unrelated directories. So, I thought it might be possible to
implement a more-user-friendly (or was it a more perfect union??) schema.
Whereas the dir tree for BC _as it stands_ has been engineered for various
reasons, it doesn't quite fit with a comfortable administration structure,
could a front end be built for administering the sites that hides the
complexities behind the scenes?

I could be fooling myself with this suggestion, but have always found that
even though many projects are mission critical, the future is so very
unforetold with software it helps to take the time and make administration
easier, even if it takes more time to code up.

I could volunteer to work on this type of thing, unfortunately I haven't
even come close to getting BC2 installed. I gave up my last linux box a
month ago to fun full speed on my current development, which I'll tell about
in my next email for its peculiar attributes with relation to BC2.
