[xwiki-devs] GSOC idea: RESTful XWiki

[Fabio Mancinelli]

Hi everybody,

since I've mentioned it in a previous email almost as a joke, maybe it  
could be interesting to propose it in a more serious way as a GSOC  
project.

So the idea is to implement the infrastructure for exposing XWiki as a  
fully RESTful WebService for example by using RestLet. This can have  
some repercussions even on semantic features that Stèphane was  
proposing on the chat.

It might be interesting to implement a separate module that leverages  
the XWiki API and exposes it in a RESTful way and build on top of it  
some semantic infrastructure. Since in this scenario everything will  
have an URI, it should be easier to leverage RDF and other semantic  
frameworks.

This is just an idea to be worked on, if we are interested of course :)

WDYT?

Cheers,
Fabio
