Here's a link to the TC meeting [1] where we talked about creating a style guide similar to this one: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_APIs_REST_Style_Guide The goal is to give developers guidance while designing APIs so we're consistent across all the projects. If we don't get this sort of style guide to point people to, we'll continue to experience inconsistency across projects. Let's start on the wiki, talk more at the Summit, and iterate as we go.
