It may be worth noting here that one of Fedora's possible entrants into the 
Google Summer of Code program is a JavaScript client for the REST API:

https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/GSOC/Fedora+Summer+of+Code+Ideas

Whether or not it's accepted and pursued, a good JS REST client would be a 
great base for building Web UIs generally. Another of the suggestions on that 
list is a project to rework the handy but difficult-to-maintain current Web 
admin UI. If you're interested in pursuing these ideas, we'd love to have 
someone work on them.
