I have done some work on a demo.
It uses Java webstart (work like an applet sort of).
The idea is to have it initially start the awt previewer at an index page
with a good introduction etc.
The it will have links to other examples (such as what we already have).
What needs to be done is:
- setup the apps classes to handle url (I have done some of this but its a
bit messy)
- write and index/intro
then put it on nagoya with the loader file (I have that ready and can do
that)
The real sticking point is lack of time.

I think this is where someone like you could help out - never seen someone
write so much.
