We are going to reduce the number to only the ones supported by fantastico at this point.
Does fantastico support it?
thanks.

Lxadmin is a transparently distributed, cross-platform, scriptable, 100% object oriented hosting platform. Cpanel/Plesk are hacks that exist only because they have been piling on hacks for 10 years.
But the thing is, we have to prioritize. Currently a feature supported in fantastico means that it has market demand, and similarly, a feature not present there means there is less market demand.

I used cpanel & plesk for a loong time, i hate both. Your are creating a new cp, a cp, in my opinion really good, a lot better than cpanel and plesk, in resource usage, stability and transparecy for example. Why limit lxadmin features to cpanel's ones? Where is innovation?

I can see your point from the developer and server admin standpoint, but there are additional things to consider.
Providers such as us need to sell the products to the end customers who seldomly understand more than the features they see in regards to their own page. Such customers know cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc., has used them and know what they can do for them.
In order to make them change providers and go trough the hassle of moving their pages and e-mails, they need to see additional features that are better than their old hosting provider's features. They look more into what they can do with their page, than how flexible our server and control panel setup is.
From their standpoint, if they are happy with cPanel features and their current server works well, they won't switch to Lxadmin provider, if it's just a feature clone. The insides of the control panel and server setup doesn't interest the end customer.
I would suggest - if you see a great new application you can add to the InstallApp and Fantastico doesn't have it, jump for it right away. That's the best thing that can happen to you and us.
It's time cPanel, Plesk and others start looking at you, instead of the other way around. It's time the customers say "oh, you have Fantastico... that's too bad, I need InstallApp".
Than the large companies will come, switch from cPanel and Plesk and start offering Lxadmin.
In other words, yes, have everything Fantastico has. And than have more & better.
