Yeah please nuke away :)

Yeah I took a look at the 'Groundwork Status Viewer' a week or so back,
from what I can tell discern its a nagios 1.x addition which pulls data
out of the flatfiles still though. Wonder if extending it to 2.x with
full database support via an neb module would be something they're
working on... but maybe it's been discussed, I'm out of the loop on the
nagios-users list. I wonder how well it scales.

Not sure if this is directed at me or Andreas, but I won't be working on
anything beyond the neb module for public consumption unless my
learning/experimenting with ruby on rails produces something uniquely
useful.
