Comment (by cypher):

 This will be tremendously useful for developers who want to use of this
 information without having parse out the welcome page's HTML -- thanks! ;)

 How difficult or time-consuming would it be to insert the remainder of the
 information from the storage servers table? I'm thinking of something like
 this for the "servers" section (using example data from the Public Test
 Grid):

 {{{#!json{
 {
     "servers" :{
         "v0-5sprlixushufwhh5fqnxsitmk2ys4nmusgadjgrtjfb3lk4s57ia": {
             "available_space": null,
             "connection_status": "Reconnecting in 536 seconds (last
 attempt 1418s ago)",
             "nickname": "Sasquatch",
             "last_received_data": null,
             "version": "tahoe-lafs/1.12.0"
         },
         "v0-oii62uew7mnhkabtzkpxti62qyqk4smnoy6czz7waqdlorpqk4qa": {
             "available_space": "739292720660",
             "connection_status": "Connected to tcp:194.88.245.210:42998
 via tcp",
             "nickname": "WXD",
             "last_received_data": "2017-01-13 10:59:48",
             "version": "tahoe-lafs/1.11.0"
         },
         "v0-x4zq6fof6eyr2y2ylhy6lc5vsnxrlh25mbnmm6xnodyrk4fejb3q": {
             "available_space": "13819057274",
             "connection_status": "Reconnecting in 536 seconds (last

             "nickname": "drixter",
             "last_received_data": "2017-01-13 10:59:47",
             "version": "tahoe-lafs/1.11.0"
         }
     }
 }
