See other problem that I see with allowing user to configure only the frequently used properties from GUI, it can lead to a false assumption on part of the user that only these are the properties that are available on the datasource. I wonder, if it is possible to have a dynamic "property sheet" kind of user interface which displays the list of writeable properties of a resource by querying it; I mean the kind of which we generally see in IDE's.

If compare the web interface and the CLI, compare the CLI high level commands to the

web interface. On this level they should remain synced as much as possible.

I am not objecting to implement any nitty gritty dada source configuration option,

but we need to get the priorities straight. Therefore I'd say let's focus on the frequently used

features for sysadmins and developers.

IMO it's fine with to point users to the the CLI for more fine grained configuration options.

However, this may lead to an inconsistency of sorts, as using CLI when you execute :read-resource, you get to see all the configured properties, but when you use UI, you will see only a subset. I am not sure, how appropriate it would be to have this inconsistency.
