No worries, we all start somewhere.  It might be good to have some update=
d
examples or cookbook scripts to get people started. For example, one thin=
g I'd
like to know right now is how to suppress all of the status messages when=
 using
the lib. I'm actually using the tests/rss_scroller.html as a base templat=
e and
playing around with things in there and it would be great to have it runn=
ing
without all of the status and log messages. Any suggestions?

Also, is the best way to load the libraries with the /kn?do_method=3Dlib =
call?
Which directory does the server serve the js files from? I'm unclear abou=
t the
difference between the kn_client* directories.

It was probably user error. Perhaps I didn't have the JS client subscribe=
d to
the right topic.=20

LOL. I would actually prefer some newer, less experimental apps to play w=
ith.
The current directory structure is a little confusing, particularly since=
 it
acts as the web directory. It might make sense to encapsulate the web dir=
 and
explicitly create folders for the examples and client libs. An installer =
might
be nice too, so the server can sit somewher within /opt or /var. I can he=
lp out
in this area if anyone is interested.=20
