Hi all!
Let me thanks you all first, for the attention to this project.

The main reason was that firewall-config is GTK only, and a requirement for Mageia is that new tools need to work across all desktops and headless environments. Mageia *does* package firewall-config, but it's not appealing to integrate when the primary desktop is KDE Plasma (which is Qt5). I knew there were attempts in the past to write a Qt5 version of the UI, so I hoped this would be well-received as an alternative to firewall-config for those who prefer a UI that fits in better with different desktops.
I also have friends who still prefer remote connections to configure server without GUI, so a TUI interface (I know they don't need it very much perhaps, but hey is there for free! :D) would be of use and appreciated. An example:
https://github.com/manatools/manafirewall/blob/master/screenshots/manafirewa...
Of course it isn't all easy since libyui has constraints to consider, but writing the code once and working for three is great result i believe.
Another issue we're trying to get rid of is tui-polkit agent, atm all the libyui-ncurses applications that use dbus, so no only manafirewall, work only as root because of missing authentication dialog...
I usually try to answer as quick as possible to any requests, though my daily job doesn't allow me to be full time connected as once, be patience and ping me. Neal is always in #manatools freenode channel so he can call me later if i'm not in too :)
Thank you
Angelo
