Trying to outsource

People in the enterprise don’t care that it’s called AJAX, they just care that it works

Internationalization issues have been a big challenge

Can’t find developers, can’t even javascript developers so email Christian ([email protected]) if you think you’ve got what it takes;-)

REST

• Pros and cons
• Tim Bray’s post
• REST is good for scaling

Google Spreadsheet

• Seems like a good UI
• Do do we trust google with yet more of our data
• Does not seem really good for business use
• Good enough for soccer moms, probably
