The Web Services and Context Core Initiative (WSCCI) aims to transform Drupal from a first-class CMS to a first-class REST server with a first-class CMS on top of it. To do that, we must give Drupal a unified, powerful context system that will support smarter, context- sensitive, easily cacheable block-centric layouts and non-page responses using a robust unified plugin mechanism.
Be sure to read the roadmap overview.
Code can be found in the WSCCI sandbox.
Hot issues
Active issues where we need help:
- Drupal Kernel Patch: This is priority one, based on Symfony2.
- Use Symfony2 session handling: We'll need to improve Symfony2 a bit in the process, too.
- WebSockets: How do we do that in PHP? Or do we?

DRAFT: Let's Be Clear That System Paths Are Deprecated - Now What?
System paths should be considered deprecated - this means removing their use as much as possible from core before 8.0 is released. Really.
Some efforts in progress include:
- replace l() with a route based l() method using the url generator
- provide an easy way to check access to a route by name and parameters

Read moreServices_Views Extending
Hi,
I'm new to Drupal Groups, and I'm hoping im in the right place.
I'm wanting to extend Services_Views a module made to extend Views core module. I'm wanting to add additional attributes to a Field. Services_Views uses the exact same ui as Views just adds a few options. I'm wondering if anyone could give me some tips on how I could add additional attributes to a Field.
Thanks
Frank N.
