-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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. - --- A.
