You clipped the part that said: Jim White wrote: > ...

Just the backend stuff for JSR-223 has been a project itself beyond what the scripting.dev.java.net folks have done (no JDK 1.5, no repository, adding languages). I haven't even dealt with a proper repository solution for IFCX code, so help there would be nice (heck the web still *still* doesn't have RSS in spite of a fair bit of time spent on that...). Then there are things like bringing in code stylers/highlighters and eventually IDE hooks for debugging and such. So like I said, anyone who wants to do CHUI stuff is certainly welcome since I have no intention of doing a frontend of that sort myself. But as for administering headless servers, you can use whichever sort of UI you like, that is matter of the client capabilities (and the user's preference) not the server.
