< randati> But I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to take over fc00. 
  I don't have the time to keep it up

FC00.org is a tool to display the network topology of Hyperboria, the premier global cjdns mesh network.

I've been following this project for some time, and I figure if Randati doesn't have the time to maintain it, I might as well have a go at it and incorporate some of the network analysis code I've been working on as a hobby.

I'm most comfortable working in Javascript, and I'm not overly fond of databases, so I plan to focus mostly on developing the clientside engine to display more general statistics about the network.

I'll be pulling stats from the various data APIs available on Hyperboria.

I started working on this repo intending to just improve the clientside graph display code. It turned out I'd need a bunch of support functions to display the new types of info I wanted. Those support functions took on a life of their own, and now I'm implementing a bunch of other cjdns-related functions in Javascript.

Developing these functions in Javascript instead of C means they're a fair bit slower, but it also means that they are:

1. more easily portable
2. easier to read, reason with, and debug
3. easily embedded into a variety of clientside applications (such as the original graph code)

This ultimately means that as we reimplement these functions, it will be easier to port them to other languages, like Ruby.
