[Cosmo-dev] abbreviating content of entries in atom collections

[Travis Vachon]

Ok, thanks!

Technically, given what I know about Atom and REST, these sound like  
very good ideas. I'd like to become more familiar with all of the  
concepts surrounding this stuff and I think I'm going to take the  
afternoon to get myself to a point where I feel more capable of  
evaluating them technically.

 From what I do understand, they sound fantastic, and exactly what  
I'd love to be able to get into 0.7. Probably the best case scenario  
in my mind would be to have them implemented on the server in a way  
that is compatible with the current system, and have the client use  
them when we get a chance schedule-wise. It very well may turn out  
that the current protocol makes the ui unacceptably slow for preview,  
in which case having a more efficient protocol within 3-5 days of  
client side work could be a life saver.

I'm going to spend the afternoon catching up on this background  
stuff, and I'll try to get back with any further thoughts before the  
end of the day!
