Google App Engine Webserver

How much will you continue to use Google App Engine with a command line; why not make it easier. Open when Windows opens, easily upload files and much more than that.
Ok, it's not that hard. I'm a Vb.net developer and we can make an application that solve this issue.

What will the application do?
  • Manage your Google App Engine webserver with a user friendly interface.
  • Run automatically when Windows starts
  • Upload your application
  • Create a config file
  • Other things?

Is this free?

Haha, this is Open Source. Ok, I generally don't give my applications source, but this time yes, as I'm going to program for an Open Source community; GOOGLE!

When, how and why?

First it's easy to do it and won't take more than 3 or 4 hours and most of the
work is on design.
I'll host the application on both Google Code and
Codeplex. Every Vb.net programmer will be able to spice the application if he
can. and then it'll grow.
It'll be ready after I complete my current project EntreCard Browser (for EntreCard
bloggers).
So it'll be ready by the next week.

For interested people

The application is very simple, instead of using the command line through the
MS-DOS console, it'll be used through a user friendly Window. This will help you
easily select a path or customize your server... If you have any idea please
post your comment here, because I'm stack with emails :(

I do like the idea of a small "gui"-interface for the google app engine.

My favorite tools should be:
- One click start of web-server
- Create new application
- Upload application

I come from the vb.net world, and could mayby support a little. I have rss-subscription on your blog and will follow :-)

Btw I will recomend you to set the eclipse tools up. Pretty ok.

-Create application?
Do you think that this is the role of a webserver?
