It's primarily: a) a testing ground for the lib. Can it provide users the data they need easily? Scriptability of a library is sort of a benchmark for me on its usability/flexibility. b) proof of concept. Until someone can actually "touch" libfossil, nobody but me is going to be using it! c) it's just fun to tinker with the script bindings. i'm not looking to provide a universal solution to all WWW UI needs, just a demo/proof-of-concept.

Once libfossil gets fossil authentication support, i wouldn't mind storing non-anonymous/guest-user sessions (as a JSON object) in the repo, because that number is bounded (manx = one per registered user). That's a ways down the road, but it's not far out of reach (just not high on the priority list).
