tantek re: API Requirements, for future refindability, I will point out that we already discussed "RESTful" as an API principle / requirement at the f2f at 2014 TPAC, and rejected it: http://socialwg.indiewebcamp.com/irc/social/2014-10-27#t1414444227147
#
tantek because proper RESTful requires all URLs to "respond" to API calls, which doesn't work for static sites, which is a very common use case
#
tantek thus "REST" is a bad way to build Social Web APIs
#
tantek thanks to aaronpk for finding the IRC log reference regarding static site generators and REST / RESTful being a showstopper.
