Right Calm down everyone! :)
Lets put the debate on hold for now (although I was tempted to throw in
a line about the GPL3 drafts). I don't know about everyone else, but I
personally think this could make a good podcast if I got a few of you in
a room together.
Anyway,
Its almost 2007 and I wanted to ask a question to the list.
One of the things you really want more of, is more BBC API's. Well were
working on that but I wanted to ask which API's have you used which were
a joy to use and why?
Is the documentation, API naming, structuring, amount of data given away
or something else?
For example, for me Flickr's API is great but I love the security of
Del.icio.us. The documentation on Flickr is also very easy to follow and
understand while the ability to run XSL serverside on Amazon's servers
has been useful. Google Data/Base is very interesting being just ATOM
based and I can certainly see more APIs using ATOM as a base result
response in the future.
Don't worry guys we can pick up the Free Software debate later...

If you do, I wont reply to the list, I might reply to you privately.
