[Cosmo-dev] More Cosmo UI Status

[Matthew Eernisse]

Jeremy,

That's correct. During the workday when I have my dev machine running 
you can see what I'm up to here:

http://shiva.fleegix.org:8080/cosmo/

Likely belaboring the obvious, but a couple of points:

1. I'm working on this box, so things are likely to be in a broken state 
off and on.
2. I'm doing a bunch of plumbing work right now, so there's really not 
that much to see.

I'm hoping to get this stuff committed to trunk in the next couple of 
days. If you want to have a look at the code before that, I'd be happy 
to tar up a snapshot of where I'm at so you can poke at it.

Thanks.


Matthew
