    About this Demo
    
    Names are fetched from the Fake Names Directory (WARNING: Java applets!) using the standard 
    Domino design and URL notation:
    
    /fakenames.nsf/($VIMPeople)?ReadViewEntries=1&StartKey=jake&UntilKey=jake_&count=10&OutputFormat=JSON
    
    In the backend the names are stored in canonical Notes format in a proper Names-type field.
    
    The orginal idea is thanks to Facebook.
    Made available as a Mootools app for all to use 
    Then ported to Prototype. 
    All I (Jake Howlett) did was make the Prototype port work in Domino.
    Although that did require a ridiculous amount of hacking.
    Thanks mainly to Domino's over-engineered JSON. 
    
    "Hey, we're enterpise-class software, we couldn't output simple JSON now could we?!".
