Hey All,
I had a bit of time on a few plane rides recent to get a chance to write down
all the various thoughts and ideas I've heard around what could be a minimally
useful expansion of how Catalyst handles content types beyond classic form
data, etc as well as some features to make it easier to use Catalyst for
building web services.
These are new core features not intended to compete so much with existing tools
like Catalyst::Action::REST but instead to provide some minimal and hopefully
correct support out of the box, to help beginners find enough in Catalyst to
stick with it. And hopefully better core support will make it easier to
improve specific tools (like CAR).
I wrote it up in pod format and put it out on the github organization for any
and all to comment, add tickets to, fork and send me corrections, etc.
I don't specifically see this as targeted for the Hamburg release, but most of
it I think is straightforward, so I'd be happy to help mentor anyone that
wanted to run with it.
