[Gluster-devel] Follow: GSoC Proposal for a RESTful/JSON API and server for GlusterFS similar to WebHDFS

[RJ Nowling]

Justin, thanks for the heads up.  I agree that ti would be best to use the
same frameworks / libraries.  I'll look into Aravinda's work.  I'll try to
get in touch with Aravinda, too.

Thiago, it's great that you've working on python bindings!  That makes my
project much easier.  :)  It'll also be good to look at the Gluster backend
for Swift.

I've edited the proposal based on comments from Jay. I don't want to clog
everyone's inboxes again, so if anyone wants to see it, I can send it to
you.

Thank you again for your enthusiasm and support!
