MZMcBride,

the two RFCs that originally discussed RESTBase are:

- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Storage_service
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Content_API

They were both originally discussed at the arch summit in January 2014.

We have since had two more RFC meetings on the subject, most recently
November 20th, 2014.

Regarding search, the implementation started out as two separate services
(Rashomon and RESTFace), which then morphed into RESTBase as we learned
about the use cases and access patterns.

Hope that helps,

Gabriel
