> Ultimately there are two use cases for the console; the first is as a dynamic
> replacement for the power point pictures we use in demos to illustrate the
> architecture of the blog sample, and the second is as a management console.
> We'll want different things in the two scenarios - in general, we'll want a
> lot of abstraction when we're using the console to illustrate what's
> happening in a demo, but using the console to debug or manage a proper system
> would need much more detail. For example, we may not want to show the bundle
> IDs for a demo, and we may want to programatically filter out bundles which
> aren't part of the blog sample. I think a good way to achieve these two modes
> is to provide a customisable set of preferences, and we can ship with two
> default modes, 'abstract' and 'diagnosis' (say). We could use a different URL
> pattern to swap between the modes, and also allow users to customise the
> preferences files to create hybrid modes.
> I've taken a step towards this by allowing some of what's shown to be turned
> off and moving the control for that switch into a separate javascript file.
> The next steps will be to externalise it to a user-editable file, possibly in
> combination with a set of controls in the GUI and cookie persistence.
> I've also added a visual representation of the bundle state, so that bundles
> which aren't active are greyed out. At the moment they go a slightly bilious
> yellow when they're not active, but we can fine tune the colours as we go. :)
> (Depending on the preferences setting, we can show the state as a text
> string, use the visualization, or do both.)
