So any more thoughts on whether or not this would be useful?

I have to revise: that I did point to a java sdk and really should have
constrained my contents to something like jquery api instead.

So- why? (why build a website of drawterm)
(I think) I like plan9 as a potential network controller. Not sure if I have
the right idea or not. It is 'experimental,' after all. Having a full blown
web interface to acme.dump and the things it can do to read and respond to
routers of all varieties seems like it could be kind of useful. But I could
be misguided, uninformed and tired.

And StyxBrowser seems to lack auth code of any kind, and doesn't connect, or
make any useful complaints that I can find right now. Oh it connects to the
ip/port that it ships with, and is a file browser not a drawterm port, but
that was in the docs. Yeah I would much rather run from (from within, or
away from) an ajax app anyway.

much happyness all,
