Just a thought...

Everyone universally agrees that "to entify" is a horrible verb to apply to the work that needs to be done to for tools in Sakai 3. The problem is, there's just not an easy shorthand for "to build support for RESTful style access." RESTify? That's not really quite right either. I volunteer a new phase:

Very amusing. I like it, probably because it reminds me of something my 8 year old son said recently. After measuring how much he's grown he said "I'm really bigging!"

Now Jack is a bright enough kid, really. This is an artifact of his learning French and English in parallel. In French, "to grow up" is "grandir". And "big" is "grand". So, in English it must be that "to grow up" is "to big". Simple as that....

Nicola:

I think "bigging" is a perfectly cromulent word.
