         | All HTTP (but non-OAuth) code     |

Building and Installing
=======================

TODO(mrjones): Update these given the split into appengine and non-appengine packages.

### Dependencies ###
goinstall -u github.com/mrjones/oauth
goinstall -u github.com/mrjones/gt

### Running a vanilla/local server ###
$ go run localserver/localserver.go
Runs it on port 8081 (This should be a flag).

### Running a dev appengine server ###
$ sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
$ sudo apt-get install python-imaging
$ appengineserver/appengine.sh run

### Uploading to the real appengine server ###
appcfg.py update .


List of significant TODOs
=========================
- Cleanup the sometimes extraneous need for callbackUrl in datafetch.go
- Tests for the DataFetch module
- Differentiate between in-progress Blob lookup and actual errors
- Automate, or at least clean up all the URL marshalling and unmarshalling
- Create more visualizers
- Make sure RenderEngine isn't coupled to server.go by writing a command-line version of Latvis
- Bring back localserver.go (non-Appengine HTTP server)
- Fix TextAuthorization in server_test.go
