I would not be opposed to making the source to the administration object 
available; however, it is a rather large codebase when I consider that it 
also depends on the WebObject library (an object oriented web page 
generation library) and the web server code.

The best way to go about this would probably be to create an account on 
Anime Mayhem (http://anime-mayhem.brians-anime.com:8080) then send me an 
email (brian[at]brians-anime[dot]com) giving me an email address where I 
could send you a gzipped textdump (thankfully they compress very well).  We 
could then have a conversation ala Anime Mayehem port 3000 to answer any 
questions that I know would come up.

You will need a good understanding of your existing core before attempting 
this project since you would be integrating the webserver, webobject lib and 
admin object into your core.  There are advantages and disadvantages to 
undergoing such a transplant.

I also need to make all the usual disclaimers; especially so since overall 
my core should be considered an unstable development version (however I had 
coded the webservice aspect since day one and I've used it enough that I 
trust the stability of that particular area of the codebase).  There are 
some minor concerns but we could discuss those ala Anime Mayhem port 3000.  
It sounds by your writing that your core qualifies as an early unstable 
development core as well so this undertaking could well be worth the 
challenge and the increased understanding of ColdC you'll obtain as a 
result.
