Alpha version released

I have packaged and released a alpha version of the code base today which mainly only comprises the core files. All though the code is 100% functional there needs to be a lot of cleaning and commenting on some of my more recent changes. But on any case the code is of Alpha release material although I was hoping to wait till beta level before another release. But I changed my mind because a couple of people have requested it and for the fact that i'm planning on using this code base as-is to write a router/firewall management system for FreeBSD. (like LinkSys routers.)
Unfortunetly this won't be even started till I make yet another project which i'm calling MyCron (pronounced micron; isn't that cute.) which will be a cron system that will use MySQL to store tasks and will be more intuitive than the cron we know and love. MyCron is necessary because I want the firewall system to be able to enter tasks that will be executed on a schedule and a set number of reputitions or expiration date and than removes itself. This is not exactly a new concept as Windows and even Linux has a scheduler program that does this already. I just needed a common interface that I can bypass securities a little to enter in tasks to be preformed by root. So essentially this will loosen up security to rely on MySQL's security.
Both MyCron and later the firewall/router PHP management will be GPL projects. That i'm planning on selling locally as what to do with your old throw away computers.
Anyways anybody who is interested in any of these projects e-mail me.
