No worries, we all start somewhere.  It might be good to have some updated
examples or cookbook scripts to get people started. For example, one thing I'd
like to know right now is how to suppress all of the status messages when using
the lib. I'm actually using the tests/rss_scroller.html as a base template and
playing around with things in there and it would be great to have it running
without all of the status and log messages. Any suggestions?

Also, is the best way to load the libraries with the /kn?do_method=lib call?
Which directory does the server serve the js files from? I'm unclear about the
difference between the kn_client* directories.

It was probably user error. Perhaps I didn't have the JS client subscribed to
the right topic.

LOL. I would actually prefer some newer, less experimental apps to play with.
The current directory structure is a little confusing, particularly since it
acts as the web directory. It might make sense to encapsulate the web dir and
explicitly create folders for the examples and client libs. An installer might
be nice too, so the server can sit somewher within /opt or /var. I can help out
in this area if anyone is interested.
