WSCCI Web Services Format Sprint Report
A small team met in Paris at the office of Commerce Guys from June 3-5th to discuss Drupal's web services serialization and syndication format needs. In short, "OK, we are going to have all of this fun new routing capability, now what do we do with it?" More specifically, how do we go about serializing Drupal data for consumption by remote programs (either other Drupal sites as in the case of content staging, other non-Drupal sites, client-side applications, or mobile apps), and what protocols and APIs do we make available to manipulate that data?
In attendance were:
- Larry Garfield, WSCCI Lead
- Wolfgang Ziegler, Entity maintainer
- Dick Olsson, Deploy maintainer
- Damien Tournoud, Core generalist and gracious host
- Alex Bronstein (via skype), Core generalist
The raw notes from the sprint are available as a Google Doc, but as usual are rather disjoint and likely won't make sense if you weren't there. A more complete report is below.

Drupal Ladder: the new name for the Learn Drupal initiative!
Goal
The goal of the Drupal Ladder initiative is to get 1% of active users on drupal.org to contribute to Drupal core by 2014 by organizing "learn sprints" and "issue sprints" at Drupal User Group meetups, camps and conferences.
Ladder
"Drupal Ladder" is the new name for this initiative. It had previously been called "Learn Drupal," but this led to a lot of confusion: many people assumed that the goal was to help new users learn how to use Drupal, though the goal is actually to get more users to contribute to Drupal.
