Because the Kickoff page looks to be in complete conflict with that assertion. The page links to references about buzzword REST and has piles and references to CRUD (PUT, DELETE, etc...) when CRUD has nothing to do with the original REST. The author of that REST even explained explicitly that PUT is not necessary, it can work perfectly fine with POST only. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
