In researching COMPASS-426, I discovered that RoboMongo stores deployment details (including credentials in plaintext) as JSON in it's config file, ~/.config/robomongo/0.9/robomongo.json (see example below). Many Compass users are already RoboMongo users and using the data from the existing config file to pre-populate the saved connections in Compass would dramatically improve the first-run experience for them.
This work would be done as a part of or after the Deployment Awareness epic.

Note: 3tstudio already exploits this "feature" of RoboMongo to offer a convenient "Import Connections" dialog.
