Well, the backend part has made large steps forward, but there is no GUI as yet :-)
The basic design will be for a two-part system, the backend is where all the processing happens and is a revised version of ppmcentre, and the frontend is the user interface with all the widgets and flashing lights :-) The two parts will run as separate processes and talk to each other to exchange data.
This way I can still have the backend available as a commandline-driven, scriptable program. It will even be possible to have the backend running on a different machine to the frontend - i.e. I would have the backend running on my "astro" server here that holds all my data., and then run the frontend on the machine in front of me. They communicate across the network.
It's taken a while to think out how I want to implement this, and now that christmas has passed I'm finding that work is starting to take some of my time, but I'm still making progress.
