After separating out Kimchi as an indvidual plugin from the base
framework it would be great to have a clean separation between Host- and
Virtualization Management functions. I'm planning to work on this topic
in the next few weeks and have prepared a proposal of the functionsplit.
Plugin functionality:
      -  Ginger:
            - Basic Information
            - System Statistics
            - Network  (Host NICs)
            - Storage/SAN (Host Storage)
            - User Management
            - Configuration Backup
            - Software Updates
            - Repositories
            - Debug Reports
            - PPC related functions:  Firmware Update & Power Management
      - Kimchi:
            -  Templates
            -  Guests
            -  Networks (virtual)
            -  Storage (Pools for VMs)

Since there are plans to restructure the UI for one of the next
releases, I'm proposing to do only some minimal investments in
reflecting this new finctionsplit. Therefore I'm proposing to make the
Host tab as the one and only Tab for Ginger and move everything from the
Administration Tab into the Host Tab.  This would be just an
intermediate solution till we implement the new UI design. Please see
the attached PDF.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Walter.
