[...] If we use Atom API, I think we can implement a API like Google
Data API :).
Frankly, I don't have any experience with pros and cons of these
technologies.
I don't know what Atom would do for us, and even if it does something,
I have a feeling that it's orthogonal to an AJAXy management console.
(I can see Atom as a way to publish a stream of events out of the
engine, but we'd need to either fix a presentation in (X)HTML or
extend Atom.)
Someone kick me if I'm not seeing something.
[...] I think it's better we can first define the API in whatever
the way (Web
Services or REST) and then go for the UI. While defining API and
implement
it we can give a very basic level of Management interface by using
currently
available Web Service based API. Then we can identify the issues
with the
WS-* based API and also can discover more and more requirements.
Let's get a list of features laid out that we can prioritize and rate
for difficulty; then we can think about API/UI to support them.
