create a publish subscribe pattern where client widgets can subscribe to server-side data model changes. This will be a major step forward in real-time client synchronization.

the server should keep track of socket sessions, and relate them to the relevant user id in the system (if the session user is logged in)

mimic dropzone mp3 uploader
queue should be a wall of tiles

Log module needs to be subscribed to the message bus root.

Log module also needs to print to file.

Basic regression testing across the major architectural components is a good idea. The project is at a point where the API is stable enough to write some tests.

Also, now some of the widgets will need to be hooked into the new framework. No better time for this then while rewiring it all.

decide on necessary table columns. add table through the bookshelf.js / knex plugins in the node server side db.

Server-side authentication module includes:
users table,
socket.io session binding on login,
client-side login widget

using 'localhost' for the websocket URL breaks the website on any device other than the server:

use domain name or IP address instead.

write a db script to get the top n records and add them into the UI when the UI is first rendered.

the map widget must embed image tiles along the side of the canvas like a 'brushes' tool

the server side dispatcher is an abstraction that takes commands and dispatches them to various workers. Adding all the possible workers into the dispatcher is too coupled and rigid. we need a modular plugin architecture that allows the dispatcher to import the desired functionality.

this may involve adding a plugin name space we can use as a calling convention
