Hackday
The goal for this year's Hackday is to build many small systems on top of a specified media type for customer support tickets. Basically, we will be building a set of components that, when put together, form a help desk software and related functionality.
For example, one team might write a server side storage, a second team a GUI client, and a third team a Twilio integration.
The point is to experience the merits and pitfalls of interoperability as provided by a Hypermedia type.
We will deal with just three basic entities:
- tickets
- comments
- users
HTTP Basic will be used for authentication.
Ideas/Options for things to do with the Hypermedia Help Desk Spec.
