I think this wiki page was only meant to be a 'reference' for poeple already working on a PowerDNS frontend or for those willing to start coding on a new one. It was used to collect all the wishes of the pdns community - integrating them is up to the coders ;) Some of the requested features even 
partially exclude each other (e.g. "AJAX" and "Must allow working with lynx/w3m on text consoles). Besides that it's a quite good and complete (at least for every-day-use) feature list. I'm sure I can still add some but I didn't manage to find the time to do so up to now - additionally many poeple 
have many different requirements (e.g. auto-creation of PTR records or a 'SPF record generator' etc.). Since I mainly develop ZoneAdmin for use in the company I work for (a small to mid-sized ISP)  I focused on features which satisfy our own needs. During the last year ZoneAdmin has proven itself to 
be quite reliable in every-day-production-use and now I'm on my way to add features requested by the community to it ;)
E.g. right now I'm working on some sort of plugin framework which allows (or actually will allow) users to add custom features to ZoneAdmin by themselves (you need some PHP skills, maybe little knowledge about Smarty templates and you should take a look at the sample plugin which will be included in 
the next release). This way it will be a lot easier to realise features like the above mentioned auto-creation of PTR records or other things.
