I've changed the way that we generate JSON for the /people/ so that it can be more-readily considered an API. We should begin by documenting the way this works, and then seeing what else would be interesting to expose.

Opening it back up.

I'll take this on. I'll get a conversation started on devel to discuss what data everyone thinks should be made public.

There are bugs like issue76 that would be easy to solve if we made a few decisions about an OpenHatch API. Therefore, this bug is a request for someone to write a specification for the kind of API OpenHatch could have. An easy first API would be to export most of the site's data in JSON format. Which data? At what URLs? (Anyone can submit a proposal here.) If we agree on a specification, we can start filing bugs indicating that the spec isn't fully-implemented. Then we can actually have an API.
