I've been lurking on this list for awhile now, and I've seen more than a few posts asking for behavior changes to the web UI. For example, the recent post from Michai Ramakers about switching to a single-column layout for the file listings (something I'd certainly like to see done, too.) The barrier for changes like this is that the majority of the display logic for those pages is hard-coded in C and compiled in. So if you wanted say, a single-column layout in the file list, you would not only have to take on that C code and the HTML it produces, you'd also need to maintain your own version of Fossil with said changes.
My question is this: Is there any intention (or even interest) in abstracting out the display logic for the web UI pages so that changes can be made outside of the compiled code? Is that the ultimate intention of the JSON API, to make all the web UI pages javascript powered JSON consumers?
