Are there thoughts/plans on adding the ability to script actions that can be initiated by the user e.g. a user buys a domain name via a reseller and sets up their user's mail, ftp etc... but then they want a Wordpress blog on their site.
As the reseller I can write scripts that will automatically set up Wordpress for them within their domain but the ideal would be a "Modules" section for the user. As an example the user would go to Modules, select a product to add e.g. Wordpress, WikiMedia, MyBB and press the go button. This would initiate a script with a parameter of the domain name that would run away and set up the product for that domain. It could look up values from the database if required for customisation.
With the modules section in place we could all submit scripts for different products to be included with ispCP.

This can be done with the Software Installer developed at the moment. We have a branch for this that will be moved to the trunk on day.

I don't know how hard it would be to get the metrics but including some graphs of peak download (network), disk usage and requests would be a pretty good bonus for all three roles (admin, reseller & user).

We already have a system overview for the administrator. Graphs are just a gimmick we can add when we have more useful things (SSL, Cron, etc.) done.
