[rules-dev] Project Idea - pure HTML5 Audit log

[Mark Proctor]

I was just making a swing app, for Wumpups, and thought it would be 
really nice if I could embed the audit log that would render in the 
example as it was executing. I can't re-use the existing stuff, as it's 
SWT based.

So I thought a nice project for someone would be to make an 
HTML5/Javascript version of the Eclipse graphical audit log. It should 
be able to take json document and render an audit log correctly. This 
component can then be re-used by people anywhere, we can even move the 
SWT version over to the HTML5 version in eclipse, so that we only have a 
single version to maintain.

In theory it's not too difficult, we don't need any fancy canvas stuff. 
Just indent lines and use background coloured spans for highlighting. 
The hardest part of the project is probably getting the current xstream 
document dumped to a sane json format. Luckily xstream already has json 
capabilities, so maybe not too hard.

Any takers?
