[uf-rest] RESTafarian Rails-a-Thon?

[Rohit Khare]

We would be glad to sponsor such an event... I don't want to  
speculate too much in detail on the list just yet, but this sounds  
like something we'd very much like to see happen. It may well  
dovetail with discussions for a successor to the Foo/Bar/Tag camp  
series that would be focused mainly on REST programming style. Call  
it "REST Area" :) :)

After the thanksgiving break,I'd like to chat about this further with  
anyone who's interested...
