MZMcBride,
the two RFCs that originally discussed RESTBase are:
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Storage_service - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Content_API
They were both originally discussed at the arch summit in January 2014.
We have since had two more RFC meetings on the subject, most recently November 20th, 2014.
Regarding search, the implementation started out as two separate services (Rashomon and RESTFace), which then morphed into RESTBase as we learned about the use cases and access patterns.
Hope that helps,
Gabriel

Hi.
There's been quite a bit of discussion about RESTBase lately. Is there a request for comments on mediawiki.org about RESTBase? I looked at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment and didn't see one.
From my limited understanding of what's being proposed, I'd personally be a lot more comfortable with the idea if someone from both the software architecture side (Brion, Tim, or equivalent) and someone from the operations side (Mark, Faidon, Giuseppe, or equivalent) weighed in and signed off on what's being proposed. This may have already happened somewhere, but I didn't see anything in my brief searching and poking around on pages such as https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/RESTBase.
