Hello Ruby folk,

I've written about raa.succ several times in the past and it seems people are
throwing up old ideas that are covered at the rubygarden.org wiki. Let me make
quick reference to these.

http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RaaSucc
Here is some notes transcribed by Andy Hunt from discussion at last years Ruby conf

http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RaaSuccRequirements
Here is a set of requirements that I collected from Andy's transcription and
added some more of my own wants to it.

http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RaaSuccSpike
Here is a small write up of a little experiment with a service based
architecture that I prototyped.

The project is a massive undertaking. I would love to see it have a REST based
API so a large variety of clients can get information out of raa.succ.
