[Engine-devel] webadmin (vs) rest-api & transition plan

Hi devs, I want to talk about the current development style and the (somewhat) planned transition from webadmin today to a webadmin which uses REST for communication. I honestly don't see how this goal can be achieved, given the current development pattern, but I may be wrong. e.g. this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1061131 it asks for a feature being available in GUI/webadmin. I'm pretty sure this gets implemented and adds another feature to the list which is not implemented via REST, thus leading to an even higher gap between REST and webadmin. Following this pattern will make the goal of using REST everywhere not easier to achieve. If you really want to build everything upon REST, or at least, transition everything to REST, there should be a policy that new features should be developed for REST access first. I don't know if such a policy is already in place and I know it will take some time for the transition, but what I observe leads me to the conclusion that the gap gets greater. What do you think? Are there any plans inside RH which I don't know regarding this transition? Maybe something you can share with your REST-Users? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.
