MadHatter: Using Cobbler for advanced configuration management

[Kelsey Hightower]

Working on a new Cobbler module: MadHatter.

Snippet from the GitHub Wiki:

MadHatter aims to create an advanced configuration management module
for Cobbler with a feature set similar to Puppet, the open source CMS
from Reductive Labs. Unlike Puppet, MadHatter will forgo a
configuration language and instead opt for doing things the “Cobbler”
way.

Is this a fork?
No. MadHatter is a Cobbler module and patch set.

The goal is to reuse the existing Cobbler framework where possible. As
a Cobbler module, MadHatter will leverage the hooks and integration
points used by other external configuration management tools.

Proposed features:

- Ability to create and edit a module or class using the Cobbler API,
command line, or Web interface.
- Explicit resource execution order
- Possible new client: Coan - Configuration Over a Network
