We can have more than 1 quickstart for Aerogear :-)

There should be one key/core archetype that shows up on JBoss Central - but there can be a dozen quickstarts to focus on different aspects of Aerogear capabilities.

I think the extra code will mostly just get in the way of someone trying to grok the JS, especially non-JS devs. I would prefer to see this as a blog post/tutorial/article on AeroGear.org instead as the info is very valuable I just think it needs to be outside of the actual quickstart.

Indeed, a blog post on weinre would be rad - wanna give it a run sebi?
