Very nice idea, @owehrens: “Teamwall – The developer's dashboard”: github.com/40bits/teamwall

@wallrat That seems very nice at first glance. Spent only a couple minutes with it, though. Thanks for the pointer!
GitHub's pull requests really are a nice example of a public hypermedia API developer.github.com/v3/pull… (via @steveklabnik)

@dhh We're trying to open source something we built, but don't have client approval yet - will let you know when we do

@dhh I actually think @mikekelly85 did a good job with his blog post to make it tangible. But I guess we won't convince you, which is OK

@dhh If Rails did this aspect "right", too, there'd likely be many more public examples to point to
@dhh It's somewhat ironic: You're responsible for a good deal of REST adoption, yet aren't convinced of its most important tenet

@dhh @mikekelly85 I strongly disagree. A ruby client library can work against that spec. Specs are what make the web work.

@dhh I thought the main point of route helpers was to remain DRY with regards to routes.rb? If so, I agree with @mikekelly85: Same in client
@dhh @mikekelly85 That seems reasonable, too (better than including a default representation without links)
@dhh @mikekelly85 Similar to the fact that it was always possible to do REST with Rails routes, but became default with 1.2 (IIRC)
@dhh @mikekelly85 But *if* some out-of-the-box serialization is provided, it's better with than without links. Creates awareness

@dhh @mikekelly85 Fully agree, am personally allergic to the term "serialization" in the first place
Take a look at @mikekelly85's current JSON HAL draft - turned out to be very lightweight and useful: tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ke…

@mikekelly85 @dhh It could include links even if it does not use an established media type :-)
@dhh @mikekelly85 Nice, I didn't know about that. Is it included with Rails by default?
