Finally there is a workable, usable version of fatcontroller using a wxWidgets/wxPython as a base for it's GUI.
It's not pretty, it's far from complete, but offers the command line functionality, the beginnings of an object tree to browse/configure various elements, and a tabbed set ouf output pages, one per entity where output for that entity

boaConstructor and wxWidgets are being used to build a gui interface around FatController in it's current state. Current CVS trees here at savannah will remain out of date until the basic GUI has been built.

Just to let anyone who may be looking know that the project isnt dead, just sleeping. The two of us who are writing code for it are currently very busy with work commitments.
We still both use FC every single day in an enterprise environment. We still love it, and we are still activley working to improve it.
Merry Christma and a Happy New Year!
