Welcome, Fellow Admins

This project aims in a bit different direction than Zabbix and Nagios. I hope a good Django base interfacing to a myriad of different SQL backends and a good, well documented, XML-RPC system will enable this project to be widely used and easily administrated.

The Django admin interface is an amazingly simple approach toward administrating any sort of SQL data. I'm not much of a programmer, but I enjoy python and I like how Django thinks. Having a lot of the administration section of such an application pre-built will assist in much faster development than from scratch.

Check out the mailing list if you are new to Domesday.
And the following links to the source and project website currently hosted at http://code.google.com/.I understand many older projects have used the project name Domesday. On any distribution where "domesday" is a valid executable I will make alternatively named packages available. However since this project is django based, it is unlikely it will have an executable named "domesday".
