Hi Stephan, [i note you are not subscribed to this list, I'm cc'ing this to you so that you will receive this email, but I recommend you subscribe to the list to ensure you don't miss important emails] The removal of the UI was agreed back in May 2011. The reasoning behind this was that Wookie should focus on the provision of a lightweight library for serving W3C Widgets. This removal was completed recently with improvements to both the API and the Java connector that allow admin to be carried out using the API. In other words it is now possible to write client applications that are separate form Wookie. We felt this was the best approach since UIs are unique to individual use cases. All that remains of the UI is a very small and lightweight interface to facilitate new users getting to grips with the system. We have no plans to replace the admin UI, however, we did agree that providing widgets that could provide necessary admin facilities would be a good idea. To date it would seem that nobody has had a use case strong enough to implement any such admin widgets, although there is some experimental code available. Another alternative would be to package the old admin UI as a standalone WAR and make any modifications needed to operate via the API. I'm sure we'd be happy to carry that as a separate application. Finally, someone may choose to write a client that would provide access to a running Wookie instance via the API. I'm sure you'll find people here willing to help you understand how to implement a basic widget/war/client application if your need is great enough to drive you to do so.
