2015-09-17 13:05 AEST by Arthur Barrett - If CVSMANAGER included a web server (see bug 5258) then we could ship a 'metro' app with CVS 
Suite for Windows 8/ Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 that could display  'live tile' and show things like 
'recent changes'. 

if CVSNT (client) included a web server (see bug 6921) then the same 'metro' app could also connect 
to the 'local' server for 'client' type information.

The idea is that the metro app would find information to display four ways:
1. mdns for a server
2. mdns for a 'local client' server
3. use locally listed CVSROOT's to get information from remote servers not found via MDNS
4. mdns for a 'global' server (like we do in workspacemanager/cvs suite studio)


The metro app could also provide a way of displaying 'links' to win32 applications and/or 
documentation in a similar way to the 'settings' metro app does for Microsoft. (see bug 6916).  This 
would mean that a windows 8/10 install would not need to install so many shortcuts...
