Cool, are you re-using the Grouper AJAX UI or writing your own?
What REST/JSON API is the client UI going to call? The grouper one
(proxied/JSONP) or are you writing your own API?

Cool, this sounds very similar to what we are looking at doing but are
still focusing on Sakai 2, however is seems to make sense to share as
much effort as possible.

How far along are you with this, do you have any code / design?
`Currently I'm tied up with other things but will probably be looking
harder at this in a few months.
