 WEEK OF 2018-11-12 - RAVEN shell start work. YAY!
-
+// eslint-disable-next-line
 
 NEXT UP / CURRENTLY WORKING ON:
-	
-	
-	- Look over the (now two) api calls and look for optimization and code shrinkage / de-duplication	
+
 	- apiurl handling (really only matters for development, there is no scenario yet where it would matter in release)
 		- if teh current page was loaded from http://localhost:8080/login then apiurl is automatically set to apiUrl:"http://localhost:7575/api/v8.0/"
 		- otherwise it just uses the current page url fixed up with the api path instead
