So what's this Whiskey thing people keep talking about?

WSCCI, the Web Services and Context Core Initiative for Drupal 8 - or "Whiskey" for short - is going to change the way Drupal works, transforming it from a CMS into a REST server, which happens to have a great CMS on top of it. Highly recommended: check out this presentation from BadCamp by various core developers. Interesting note: apparantly there is a lot of good code in Symphony which can be used for D8.
