Open Stack

Personally, I think that it's a great step now to move this code to the
templates. As for the huge frameworks - I prefer something like Angular.JS
or Knockout.JS.

Currently, the status.js file isn't so bug to rewrite it as a real life web
app and so, we could just add templates to make it much more readable and
improvable.
