Thanks for the additional details :-) Perhaps this isn't important right now, but have you given any thought to the naming of the version? I kind of like the clarity and goals of the semver system [1]. The reason why I bring this up is that fixing existing bugs with the API sounds like minor change in the version number, whereas a major change from (v1 -> v2) implies a break with backwards compatibility to create a new API. Perhaps framing the work in terms of semver will help organize the work?
By the way, I quite like the sound of a modern looking (aka RESTful) API for MediaWiki. Does that fit how you are thinking about v2 of the API? //Ed [1] http://semver.org/ On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 6:10 AM, Yuri Astrakhan <[email protected]> wrote: > Bugzilla, mailing list archives, our heads.
