A GUI, or rather a CMS interface for DocPad is the big next step. It was also one of the first proof of concepts I used to ensure DocPad would be able to scale into the web development platform of the future.

- Authenticate: To authenticate you against the project's maintainers to ensure that you have read and write access
- REST: Provided authenticated users the ability to update documents via HTTP POST requests using JSON
