I think there should be a basic, usable, and simple catch all 
Management Interface that is similar, but possibly more narrow in 
scope, than the current Zope 2 ZMI.  I'm thinking of things like the 
Windows Management Console / IIS Management Console on Windows 2000.  
You don't manage the content with the IIS Management Console, but you 
can access and configure all the properties for the objects being 
served, with the focus being on server-specific properties.

There should be little or no need for customization of this level of 
management, since it should exist primarily as a no-frills interface 
that people with access can use to change run time component instances 
and configurations.
