Galene currently implements three independent protocols:

1. the native protocol, carried over a WebSocket over TLS;

2. the WHIP ingress protocol, carried over HTTP over TLS;

3. a REST-like interface for administration, used by the "change password"
   dialog and by the galenectl tool; hopefully, at some point somebody
   will write a graphical administration tool (but it won't be me).

Yes, they'll want to be able to display the list of public groups.  They
might also want to allow a user to change their password.
