I think this is the worst idea outlined on that kickoff page. I think Brian's comment sums it up perfectly for me: "not a fan of restful stuff in general, usually seems to be a solution in search of a problem" [0]. Adding more functionality to the API is great, and having OAuth (or something similar) would be fantastic--I'm really not convinced we need to to Completely Rewrite(tm) the API to accomplish this. -Chad [0] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41837#c15 _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
