That's interesting. I'm very surprised to hear that. When I was researching, I found a huge number of requests for an API but no proper implementations whatsoever. About the closest thing I found was a post by Stephen on Github Issues from about 8 months ago stating something along the lines of a REST API would definitely not be included in Mezzanine itself and anyone who attempts it should design it as a third party app. I did not find any such third party apps. I guess your vision suddenly changed sometime since then. Anyway, I can still see a number of benefits to the one I'm developing, especially in relation to Oauth2 authentication, working on writable access features, documentation and testing. As well as being available now as an easy to use add-on.
I might be interested to discuss combining our efforts on this. Although the projects have some differences and might have different roadmaps and goals - I could not find in that Github Convo you referenced what those are exactly for you and what your intentions are with regards to an API?
