The second one, shindig's intention is to provide a 'social-api' back
end (there's been a few discussions on the list earlier which toolkit
to use for building this on the java side), and there's been some talk
as well about providing a sample MySql interface or something as well.
See http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dc43mmng_2g6k9qzfb in regards to
what the current thinking is about post/get/put/etc http methods.

or
will Shindig be implementing a rest based server component, with DB
backend.
Also, is there any intention to use POST on the rest URL's to do
updates to social data where it makes sense... sorry if this has
been mentioned already.

From our (selfish) point of view, we already have the rest
scafolding deployed, so shindig providing the client side libraries
is attractive as we can probably implement the rest based server
quite quickly in out own infrastructure.
