No, I think not. I'm writing a system called Provide, to support the 
activity of deploying applications and migrating data. But it doesn't 
give fine grained control over application service instances.

For KForge, the most general interface is to manipulate the KForge 
domain model from the Python shell. Run the "shell" command of 
kforge-admin. The web interface repeats this as a graphical user 
interface with validation checks etc, but from the command line you can 
do things like:

run the kforge application:
 >>> from kforge.soleInstance import application

get a reference to the domain model registry:
 >>> r = application.registry

list names of project:
 >>> print r.projects.keys()

register a new project:
 >>> myproject = r.projects.create('myproject')

register a new person:
 >>> myperson = r.persons.create('myperson')

make person a member of a project:
 >>> member = myproject.members.create(myperson)

change the member's role:
 >>> print member.role
 >>> member.role = r.roles['Developer']
 >>> member.save()
 >>> print member.role

remove member from project:
 >>> del(myproject.members[myperson])

remove person:
 >>> del(r.persons['myperson'])

remove project:
 >>> del(r.projects['myperson'])

change the admin password:
 >>> admin = r.persons['admin']
 >>> admin.setPassword('mygreatpassword')
 >>> admin.save()
 >>> myproject.members.create(admin)

Sure. Thanks for your excellent input! Bye for now,
