While I think Crockford is being funny here, he's got to know that adding in ad-hoc stuff like this into licenses is problematic. Which is fine -- it's his call, of course -- but less people are going to use this thing. I see he's even ad

Well, I think the way you do it is provide examples of interaction that sends an explicit Accept with client interactions. Detecting Content-type and reacting accordingly is only for totally blind discovery.

Accept header based versioning is self-documenting. I've worked on implementing support for this in tastypie: https://github.com/toastdriven/django-tastypie/pull/394 It's like this: --> GET /api/ Accept: application/json <-- Cont

Did you find an exploration of the gravitationally-bound black hole idea? I've been wondering the same thing since reading about this a few years ago.

Thanks! Will change on our next deploy.

It's built atop Django + GeoDjango, so we'll likely transition to Python3 when most of Django marches there. There's a development site here with some more information: https://dev.localwiki.org The DavisWiki is running our old software,

We're gonna refocus the main site later on when there's more communities using the software. For now we're trying to focus attention on the software side of the project.

I love it when someone writes an articulate, non-inflamatory blog post with reasonable suggestions on how to improve things. It's sad how rare this is around here these days.

BTW, geoserver (which uses SLD) has a CSS-styling extension which is much easier to use.
