Good job.
What can I say - it's the best management interface for WPKG the world
have seen :)

OK, here's my list of suggestions/questions:

1) What is its license? GPL?

2) Is it possible to generate XML for single packages/profiles/hosts?

3) Although I can understand the interface pretty well, it might need a
little explanation for a new user. A couple of "?" (with JavaScript
onmouseover? HTML popup?) icons here and there would be great.

4) Perhaps other ideas that one will have when uses software...


Perhaps a bit philosophical question - what would you like to do with it 
in the future? What I mean, after WPKG installer is ready and 
feature-full in about two months, there are still some features waiting 
to be integrated into wpkg.js...

WPKG Web Interface would be a great addition to what we have already.
In other words, if you want this Web Interface to be hosted on 
wpkg.org/sourceforge.net, have it developed by other people, etc.

If yes, perhaps it's time to set up a SVN repository (does svn.wpkg.org 
work)?

That's also nice, I use Unattended as well.
To bad Unattended doesn't seem much developed these days anymore?

I see there is a download link now, great.
