Just to chime in here:

I like the JSON work, but I hope we'll eventually see a more dynamic means of creating internal HTML pages. After about a year of using Fossil, there are two features I'd dearly like to see: hooks, and the ability to query the internal database and output the results into a page. So, for instance, I'm currently storing one of my projects' sets of release notes as events. I'd like to pull the most recent 5, or 10, or whatever and display them on the main page such that http://spielproject.info doesn't look incredibly bare. :)

Anyhow, I mention the "year" bit because I'm sensitive to not wanting to bloat Fossil, and to establish that I don't have ten other feature requests waiting in the wings. The new JSON support is awesome, but I also hope that we see some way to make the current HTML interface a bit more dynamic, if only a little.

Thanks.

Just to be clear: that would not mean a fork or other fundamental split from fossil. One of the main purposes of the JSON API is to make such "external" UIs possible on top of the core fossil functionality.
