Title: I don't actually expect this to be merged but..

I'm wondering about experimenting with github as a debating platform. I think it lends itself well to asynchronous communication, where people can collaborate, and also have enough time and space to lay out all their ideas and have everything heard, and the ability to develop their own viewpoints.
I think the blog post/comment model can be good but doesn't lend itself to evolution of ideas and opinions.

I'd like to apologise for any offence that may have been caused over the sometimes too brief medium of Twitter last night between you, me, Stevie Graham and Tony Daley.

It would be great if you do have the time, and could read through and come up with some rebuttals or pointers on any of the things I've said in this README. Or if not then hopefully there can be some useful info to help make your book more accessible to ordinary developers like me who are having a hard time understanding the HATEOAS part of REST.
