Adam, Kathy, Brent, Thank you for taking on this important initiative. I'm fully supportive and it is very much needed.
While defining the API is the first step, I'm wondering what the path is to actually implement it. Specifically: - Can the existing CWE data model support APIs that are RESTful? - Who will execute on the API endpoint development work? Will MITRE or another party? These may be questions for MITRE, but I think it's important to have a path towards implementation while the APIs are defined. We surely all agree that defining an API that never gets built is not good for anyone.
