8:24:20 AM Aaron Gotwalt: we're having the collection-json vs other api forms argument tomorrow
8:24:36 AM Aaron Gotwalt: or hypermedia types, i suppose
8:25:00 AM Aaron Gotwalt: he's concerned about verbosity and that it presents the data in a format that is not ideal for either the client or the server

8:26:39 AM Aaron Gotwalt: which is less of a concern in ruby-land
