Hi,
Paul forwarded me your questions about the WebHob design and just wanted to get back to you.
I'm not sure if there will be an included web server with WebHob. These issues and others are being sorted out in the development team who will be doing the rollout of WebHob. Right now, we're concentrating on design and usability and including the methods, features and requirements to design a WebHob that would work for teams who would use WebHob to create builds with Yocto.
We're using Twitter Bootstrap to make the front end development easier and quicker for the prototype. We could imagine carrying a lot of it forward to the actual production WebHob, but a lot of this front end development is yet to happen. Right now we're concentrating on making a clickable HTML5 prototype. This includes quite a bit of JQuery as well.
There are many cases like what happens when two people edit at the same time that we have to sort out actually.I imagine there would have to be some sort of locked state perhaps or state where the config is yours personally until you're done and then is committed to the history.

Hi,
The update of the WebHob design is up on the wiki
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Web_Hob_DesignQuoted 7 lines
There's a PDF of all the screens of the latest version (v.1.9) of the application
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/images/0/01/Webhob.1.pdf>, a link to the GitHub <https://github.com/jkosem/Yocto-WebHob-Design> we have setup for the HTML5 prototype development and a screencast of the v.1.8<
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/images/c/cb/Yocto_webHob.1.9_screencast.0.2.movQuoted 6 lines
showing our design thinking around WebHob and our vision for how it will work.
As always, feedback is welcome. Thanks.

https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yoctoI like the design screens in the PDF, however it looks like it will be a LOT of work! Just one question, how is it intended that this will be setup? Will it be a standalone application with included web server (twisted-web? I assume it will be python based...).
Are you intending to use Twitter's bootstrap (as that is what the design screens resemble)? How about initial implementation, will it be using websockets or event driven AJAX? What happens when two people try to edit things at the same time? Is there going to be a separate database/configuration files or will it be editing config files directly?
I'm not being awkward here, it's just the project I've been working on the last 6 months is using some very similar technology and these are some of the design decisions I've made (and still attempting to make!), so it's more interest and understanding design decisions than anything else.
Regards,
