@rjs23 The idea is start to build this application with these specifications. I will put sooner this code in my github account, so we can work together

Sorry for the late response, I'm too busy but i would like to show some ideas to interfacing REST services.

I've some initial definitions for web services that we can discuss: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18x7ph2r...uthkey=CLO7xr8J

The idea is build an php application to expose these services. I'm a web developer with experience in symfony framework (www.symfony-project.org), so i would like to build these web services using this technology

@sergiovier if your REST application can launch 0ad game automatically then that would be great because popular browsers does not permit it. Users will still need to launch the game manually then use copy/paste ip address to join games. Let me know if you plan to do this.

I think 0ad team will implement an internal lobby, so this will be the best (only) place where you can launch a 0ad multiplayer game. But we can always have a web interface to show the lobby activity.

Is there any news from this work?

I'm interested in help with that. I could make an REST application (HTTP API calls) in order to bring the capability of have a in-game lobby.

So, i think we can define some features for this:

- list active games

- create games

- update game settings (map, players, etc)

- update game status (in lobby, in progress, etc)

- more?

The different calls could return XML or JSON data, so it would be easy to build the in-game lobby interface. What do you think?
