or via a different web interface.

But, besides exposing (for example) the current *xboard and *xlog functions, 
more functionality is required to present data in the organisation used by the 
'main view' (while the page is accessible, I believe grouping isn't).

Also, ideally the data being access should be filtered by what the 
authenticated user is authorized to see.
