Web UI 'Overhaul'

[JBorrow]

The Web UI will need significant work and is starting development essentially from scratch.

What we need

• A page per product listing:
  • Associated files with the possibility to download them
  • Metadata associated with the product (both the 'metadata' blob and the description and name)
  • Relationships between this product and others
  • Past versions of the product
  • Collections that this product is part of
• A page per collection listing:
  • Metadata for collection (e.g. title, description)
  • Products within the collection and their policies
• A page per user listing:
  • Information about the user
  • All products that they 'own' currently
• A home page showing recently updated and new products
• Product search

Access control

The products returned from all of these services must be controlled. This will be done on a per-user basis, with some products being available for all (including not-logged-in users) and some being available for users with specific privileges.

Wish-list items

• A way to 'pin' information to the front page?
