[uf-rest] Re: XHTML-REST Examples

[Dr. Ernie Prabhakar]

Hi Jason,

Welcome on board!  Yes, you are welcome -- even encouraged! -- to  
join in and start editing the Wiki. I don't object to looking at the  
broader ecosystem, as long as we don't get bogged down in minutae.   
Your post demonstrates admirable initiative and humility, so as long  
as you keep that up we'll be fine. :-)

Best,
- Ernie P.
