IMHO many users would appreciate a webmin module.
I have no idea how much work this would require, though.

I think I saw a Javascript shell once... maybe it could be converted into a 
SSH client? o.o

You mean something like these people are talking about:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=88052
There are also two open bugs about a portage server mode (unlikely to be
implemented before a code modularization).

[gentoo-dev] Web Based Portage Interface

[Ian Leitch]

elo,

Does anyone think a web based interface to portage is
need/possible/would be used if created?

Would it be overkill for remote administration seen as we already have
SSH?
Would it be problematic binding apache and portage in such a way?
Is the concept insecure?
Would a small server daemon be needed?
Would multi server control be possible?
Is it worth it?

I was thinking along the lines of complete control by the way. 

Regards

Webmin already provides a basic frontend to portage, not sure how up-to-date 
it is though.

Well yeh, thats the thread that sparked the idea. Infact the only one
talking about the control interface in that thread was me. The guy who
made the thread is creating a tree viewer.

OT:

Just out of curiosity what is the timeline or the place on the to do 
list for this core code modularisation?  Any bug numbers also?
