Re: [Gmod-ajax] [Gmod-architecture] AJAX, WebService, Middleware, Chode

Hi Xianhua

Note there is now a gmod-ajax list too.

I think a RESTFUL architecture makes a lot of sense for an AJAX  
application.

By the way, I think you mean "Chado". (try a google search for  
"define: chode" - I do hope chode doesn't catch on as another Chado  
mispronounciation!).
