• Manually create a menu metadata DB without with a non-VFP-specific 'action' field
• Convert the menu builder to use Postgres data
• Write a simple utility for automatically migrating a VFP database to Postgres

Currently the menu builder just dumps the entirety of the menu metadatabase

Also, actually remove node-modules from the tree

• Move current menu metadata to Postgres as per #3 so we can run without a windows host
• Open 8888 port on CentOS box
• Install some CSS compiler like SASS
• Install a Javascript compression compiler
• Create a clientside-sources directory and move client CSS and JS to it
• Modify server code to work when concatenated into a single file
• Finagle a build system that compiles and compresses SASS and JS sources to resource folder before starting the node server

This way, if a user crashes his or her session we may be able to keep it from runing the sessions of everyone else using the server.

• Method for generating a new session and session number
• Insert new session number into initial page load
• Client sends session number back to server on all requests
• Session object method for generating widget handles
• Session object 'is authenticated' property
• Server-side session object timeout
• Client-side 'keep alive' heartbeat
• Client-side inactivity timeout
• Server-side detection of timed-out session and passing back of appropriate message
• Client side handler for the 'your session has timed out' message

So that spinning up on a new dev system doesn't require manually installing the needed npm repos.
