Hi Jakob,

I cloned the repository (from https://github.com/LabWare/MQTT-broker) to
my local system, and I am able to open it from a Monticello browser as
a repository of type tonel://, but the resulting repository browser does
not seem to do anything (it just has the list of .st files in the left
pane, nothing else is active).

I think this means that I am missing something that I need from your
repository. Can you give me a pointer?

Thanks,
Dave
