which part? in order to be followed by thimbl, all you need is ssh and xinetd/finger running. That's it. If you want to clone the thimbl http to finger&ssh gateway, the current implementation uses twisted / mammatus. If you want to run the UI, it's just static html/css/js that does jsonp calls to the gateway. more details will be posted in the next few days.
