Changing the structure of actions, will be incompatible with older versions of the html

[mattjoyce]

I wanted to change actions from the current

• actions
  • name : url
  • name : url

to

• actions
  • id : str
  • displayname : str
  • url : str

this will allow us to add meta data about the actions, such as the type of parameter. (int / datetime) I'd like to be able to popup a date picker for schedules, or a slider for countdowns.

• actions
  • id : str
  • displayname : str
  • url : str
  • argname1 : "start"
  • argtype1 : "date"

This would also allow us to move the 'canceljob' setter to an action, which is better I think.

thoughts?

Definitely something to consider. I'm planning to spend some decent time over the next week developing a more sane replacement for the web interface. Something that would also be compatible with adding in unrelated devices at some point even (such as smart light bulbs, etc.).

This is something for #10 too.
