OK, so what is LUCI ? LUCI is an Universal Configuration Interface. So what this means ? The aim of LUCI is to provide a way to edit any configuration file with a graphical interface. Even if you are, like me, a vi adept, you know that the way to world domination pass through the generalization of the graphical interface. Unix/Linux systems are full of configuration text files, and this kind of systems will be accessible to everyone when they will be usable without any file editor.
But how does LUCI work ? The idea is: every configuration file should come with a little text file that describe it. LUCI need this description file to know how to read and edit the configuration file. This description file should be provided by the maintainer of the package or the author of the program that use the configuration file. If you want to see some examples, with screenshots, go to the examples pages. Take also a look at the tutorial to have a better idea on how this is done.

Tarball and installation instructions are available on the download page. LUCI is in development stage, but is sill usable.

Mail me at jerome@linuxfan.com to make comment on LUCI. My future work on it will depend on the feedback I will receive.

THX, Jérôme.
