There are a couple of active(?) php frontend development teams based on 
announcements on the list.

Ethan is the primary and sole developer of the core nagios platform. One 
of the reasons he asked to hold off on re-doing the front end was the 
revamping of the internals - specially the new event daemon that is now 
part of CVS. That will have a significant impact on how and where the 
front-end will get the status data. 

2004 isn't so far off :) and php re-write in addition to performance, will 
provide the foundation for localization.
