hey, sebastian.. this looks great! this looks like what i am after.. did you run into any problems or limitations using Amber as a front end? I have not tried Amber yet, so this might be the right time to give it a shot.. where did you find zinc-rest? a quick search turns up references to it.. should i be able to just install it via my image?
andrew - i thought about using the seaside rest add on, but seaside seems to be alot of overhead just to run a rest server.. mariano - i am thinking about using api token..
