Hello, |

Very interesting! I would love to read more on your work up to this point. |
| 4 |
I'm also curious, is there a reason you went with Postgresql? |

If you haven't already, it may be worth looking into CFengine. The project |
| 7 |
may provide tried and true answers to some of your questions when it comes to |
| 8 |
client/server communication tools and providing a framework for managing |
| 9 |
configurations across multiple platforms. One of CFenginge's primary goals |
| 10 |
is to strive to provide distributed stateful configuration management of |
| 11 |
servers based on sets of rules and classifications. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I personally hope that one day this project hits the mainstream, as it has a |
| 14 |
lot of potential. |
| 15 |
|

Best regards, |
