You should consider how these changes will affect on existing code in
your application. In order to prevent incompatibilities with existing
code, you should decide the best approach for you.

The problem here is not only `user' variable. Each of `initViewPort',
`initHeaderPanel', `initMenuPanel', `initQuotesPanel' are global. So
they are also global pollutions.
You can use the follow design:
var widget = (function () {
var user; //Assign a value of user
function initViewPort() {
//...
}
function initHeaderPanel() {
//...
}
function initMenuPanel() {
//...
}
function initQuotesPanel() {
//...
}
return {
initViewPort : initViewPort,
initHeaderPanel : initHeaderPanel,
initMenuPanel : initMenuPanel,
initQuotesPanel : initQuotesPanel
}
})();
widget.initViewPort();
widget..initHeaderPanel();
widget..initMenuPanel();
widget..initQuotesPanel();
