Hey there I have been proxmox on the homelab and now convincing the company to make the switch from vmware.

UX is kind of a big deciding factor for them so I have been poking around the source to reduce some of the clatter in the web manager for a more minimal UX.

Can you please let me know what is the template framework? I saw the index.html.tpl file in /usr/share/pve-manager/ is that from SMARTY?

I would appreciate your input because the frontend is not at all documented in the dev docs. In fact I find proxmox a kick ass project and Im very proud to recommend it to my boss (in fact im doing it to check out the team's enterprise support :D) but my biggest complaint at this point would be the poor dev docs

Cheers!
 
been there done that :)

I would also like to contribute to the project, maybe you can add my gui as an alternative. I will post this on the dev mailing list too.
