New (unofficial) JSON-RPC page

[Roland Koebler]

Hi,

since the json-rpc.org is outdated quite some time now, and our files
were removed from Google Groups [*], I decided to create a "central"
JSON-RPC page, where all specs/drafts/proposams can be easily found,
and which collects links to everything about JSON-RPC:

http://www.simple-is-better.org/json-rpc/

It's not complete yet, but I hope to add more information/links and
hopefully rework some of the drafts; but I think it's already useful
as it is.

Comments/suggestions, improvements, links to other pages etc. are
welcome!

best regards,
Roland

[*] Thanks Matt, that you saved them!

The easier these topics are to find, the better. Thank you for posting the links and hosting the site :)

I have reached out to Jan about the original site, I'll post back once I have any news.

To be clear about the domains I run, I had setup 2 domains a while back:

• One for the spec related stuff, jsonrpc.org. 
• One for personal opinion content / promote on, json-rpc.info.
  

The second one never really took off on my end, life got busy, other excuses, etc. I completely forgot I had posted something about 'shapes': http://www.json-rpc.info/?page_id=31

I actually link over to your original content from both site, so I'll update my links to point to this content as well.

How would people feel about posting the spec into a locked post here (looks like an option in google's new ui). It will loose some of the formatting, but can probably be adjusted to visually look appealing. Also, I'd like to see it put into a json object that we can turn into the spec html, this way we can very easily track and reason about changes it.

Any thoughts are appreciated :)

JSON is a good serialization format, but it's not a markup language.
So, I would suggest to use some "wiki-like" markup language instead,
e.g. reStructuredText, which is human readable as text and can be
easily converted to HTML.

That's actually the way I create the pages on simple-is-better.org,
and I've now added a link named "View document source" to the bottom of
every page, which returns the reStructuredText version, e.g.:
- HTML version: http://www.simple-is-better.org/json-rpc/jsonrpc20.html
- text version: http://www.simple-is-better.org/json-rpc/jsonrpc20.txt

best regards,
Roland

Matt,

I would love to see jsonrpc.org become the new standard place to find information regarding the specification. How can I help?

Still getting used to the new groups UI. The soft grey theme helps a little, but they really don't like visual color separation in their new designs... <grumbles/>


I'll look into reStructuredText a little more :)
