It's great that you are going to try to contribute to Shindig, thank you for your interest!
I would like to put this up to the community though, do we think Shindig should start creating scaffolding and eventually implement the in progress restful api spec? And if so, should it be on a branch or in the main code base? It would also be good to have a quick design discussion to see how best this could integrate with the java and php versions. I'm not up on php at all so perhaps someone who is can comment on how abdera might integrate with multiple languages. Thanks. - Cassie On Mon, Feb 25, 2008 at 3:12 PM, David Primmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A group of us at Google have decided to try to implement the RESTful > Data API portion of the Shindig reference implementation with the Atom > framework Abdera.
