Very cool; the world will definitely be a better place with agreement on
API's in those areas.
This all sounds very similar to my vision for OGF's
OCCI<http://www.occi-wg.org/> and
is exactly why I've split off core from infrastructure concerns - it
definitely sounds like we should be collaborating more in future.
FWIW REST-* sounds like something I could get behind but to be completely
candid (as always) I'm disappointed to see similar
governance<http://www.jboss.org/reststar/community/governance.html>...
to those that undermined the
WS-I <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Services_Interoperability>: "*Red
Hat, as the founder of REST-*, gets a permanent seat on the board. All other
board members must be elected by the overall membership once a year*". If
it's not too late then please reconsider this position.
