Catalyst-Action-REST

* allow people to configure individual de/serializers

* fix handling of incoming vs. outgoing Content-Type

right now the incoming Content-Type header takes top priority for both
deserialization and serialization.  This is wrong per the RFC; the way the
client should specify what it wants is via the Accept header.  deprecation
cycle.

* keep refactoring things into roles

* serialize/deserialize deserve their own dist

maybe two dists: one for the basic de/serialization and one for Catalyst glue.

why not Data::Serializer?
a) supports a bunch of formats I don't care about
b) asks lots of questions
c) has options we don't care about

* HTTP response encapsulation with per-status validation (joel was going to
  start this?)

* move things out of controller/action and into request/response

* should REST be a view?

why should "serialize to YAML" bypass the View step, when a normal TT or Mason
view is essentially "serialize to HTML"?

(I should come up with compelling use cases before spending too much time
tilting at this windmill.) 

Dist-Zilla

* write plugins for my personal release cycle, git integration, etc.

* move more dists to dzil

local-lib

* write single-step bootstrapper into a given target directory (download and
  everything)

* figure out why some installs with too-old CPAN.pm fail mysteriously and
  result in complains about being unable to write to "/sources"
  (e.g. perl 5.8.8)

wishlist

* FeyX::Active, but somehow awesomer

* Fey::Dumper -- write a Fey::Schema to a Perl class

* generic REST client (LWP::REST?), plus Catalyst::REST glue
