Indeed much needed for various use cases from my talks in various events. People would often ask me about managing a 1-2 hosts setup and Kimchi fits right in and I'll be happy to demo it once I have the opportunity.
Yes, this is what started the project. We've been getting a lot of feedback from users/customers and the piece that we keep hearing is that it's too hard to get started with a small deployment. This is KVM feedback in general, not just oVirt related.

I agree keeping user experience and interoperability are important to make it a valuable member of the oVirt ecosystem. This should allow Kimchi users to grow their setups on the one hand, while test a specific VM locally using Kimchy on the other hand.
Yes. From a development point of view, I'd prefer that we focus on the "hand off" experience verses trying to converge the CSS themes or anything like that though. I think the later is a good idea in the very long term but in the short term, there's much more value in the former.
So +1 from me, as long as we make sure users can benefit both projects together without needing to re-create their guests.
Thanks! Regards, Anthony Liguori
