I have not looked at GGB, but philosophically I like this approach. 
There are too many systems that would be great to use, but they are so
tied into their GUI that you can't use them any other way.

I am using WebCT for a college programming course I am teaching.  I want
to see an open source equivalent some day.  WebCT is completely browser
based, so you can run the server on any OS and use it from anywhere.  If
the real meat of GGB is text based, you could write a CGI interface to
give it a web front end as well.
