I've had a few conversations about my own wishlist for a management panel for VPS containing multiple multi-site instances.

My use cases are pretty simple:

Use Case 1: Upgrade 1 (one) important module on one multi-site codebase (like CCK)
Use Case 2: Mass migration of multi-site 'site files' to new code base

Both of these require the same basic things, the main difference being extracting one site out of a multi-site instance versus a complete migration of all sites in a multi site instance (instance = codebase).

The core activities here are:

  1. mysqldump
  2. mysqlimport
  3. editing of httpd.conf (through an interface preferrably)

Everything else is really just command line stuff in general. I'm not really needing this to talk to CVS or some other go-between for version checking of modules.

I'd like to continue to increase the value I provide to an SVN distro like Bryght public distro and, over time, see mroe modules integrated into that for versioning purposes.
