A functioning prototype of the DEFT UI has been created and is run continuously under Apache at CERN. The most recent version is available on a development port, which is distinct to one which is world-visible. Screenshots were presented at the ATLAS S&C week at CERN (Oct.21-15 2013).
As of October, the functionality includes views of Meta-Tasks, Templates and Tasks. It is possible to edit any attribute of most objects in the system, and more importantly to clone a Meta-Task from a Template.
Report for the last week of October:
a) Refactored pagination into a separate code unit for brevity
b) More compact display of timestamps
c) Added JIRA links, at this point as the "browse" links, will look into restful api - this is based on discussions with Nurcan and others
d) Based on user comments, removed cloud and site from Meta-Task request as less important (and maybe superfluous) bit of information
e) in addition to "developer's editor", created a form for editing tasks, will finalize soon
