Currently the web UI is driven by a custom PHP "framework" and shares functionality wise probably quite a bit with the API.
I'd suggest to merge/rewrite the UI by leveraging the already existing API project.

Couple of thoughts:
* less maintenance burden since lots of things (routing, ORM, ...) are implemented by CakePHP
* views can use the template engine
* skins can be implemented using CakePHP themes

Any thoughts from the maintainers if this is something that can be explored?

The maintainer(me) doesn't really like cakephp and can't be bothered.

If you want to do it, be my guest! I'll try to support in any way that I can.

Also, feel free to do it in python or whatever else tickles your fancy.

Thanks for the supporting words!

I must admit CakePHP isn't my favourite as well. I just didn't want to present too extreme ideas as a first-time contributor.
I'll try to come up with some ideas in the next weeks.
