Mark: I would like to see a bit more dialog with Bojan concerning the REST API contracts and migration to Spring, mainly, are we happy with these API contracts and using them for the students project, or do we need to consider some possible changes int he API to adopt to using Spring REST instead of Entity Broker. And if so, is there a timeline for providing those changes in scope of the 1.8 release?

Vibhaj: Confirmed that the possible migration shall not affect the REST interface and hence RestClient project.
