These items block further progress on the UI. I'm merging #7056 so we can make progress, but it is in general not yet safe to accept UI changes because we are missing various supporting functionality: we don't have enough automated checks in place. Please copy me (@lavalamp) on all UI changes.

P0 items: (I'm unlikely to accept UI changes that aren't working towards fixing one of these issues)

• Travis/shippable to run the karma tests.
• Travis/shippable to run the protractor tests.
• Test to verify that go bin data matches the files output by npm install; npm start (i.e., hack/build-ui.sh has been run)
• Test to verify that npm install; npm start has been correctly run (the packaged js/css/html files have been assembled from source)
• www/README.md needs major changes:
  • Make it clear how to build files for inclusion in apiserver binary.
  • Make it clear how to run in standalone mode.
  • Make it clear that these are two distinct modes.
  • Either remove all mention of kubectl, or make it clear that there's a third operational mode, where kubectl proxies your cluster's master, and you run the UI locally pointed at that proxy.
  • work item: make development.json auto-generated from your .kube/config file; actually provide a separate command for generating the files for inclusion in apiserver that doesn't use development.json.
  • Provide more detailed installation instructions.

P1 items:

• UI to be served from a pod, not from apiserver.
