There is a lot of unnecessary overhead in developing a js frontend around t=

Ok we'll add some tickets to issues on the Futon.Next repo.

The next thing I'm working on is expanding the plugin system and
building a pluggable backend so that the CouchDB API module can be
swapped out. As for other open areas, there is a lot of functionality
that needs to get fleshed out. It would also be great if someone
wanted to jump on things like _config and _logs. We're in the process
of getting the wireframes together, so for now we're just focusing on
functionality and less on look and feel.
