Description

We have a view of the metadata available for openworm repos deployed live here, driven by this code here.

At the moment metadata is shown in tabs, courtesy of @cheelee.

We'd like to add an alternate tabular view (possibly re-using some javascript/jquery grid) to show metadata and that's what this issue is about.

There should be also a toggle to switch from the tabbed view to the tabular view.

The reason to add the tabular view is so that we can see metadata for the various repos at a glance, so that people can quickly access documentation etc.

Research direction

Start by reading war/js/repositories.js and inspecting the live repositories view to understand how the current tabbed metadata is assembled. Add an alternate tabular presentation with a toggle between views, reusing an appropriate JavaScript or jQuery grid if suitable. Done means repository metadata is visible at a glance and users can switch reliably between the tabbed and tabular views.
