At the moment, the naming/location of artifacts, people, tools, projects, groups, pages is mainly through CGI like URLs.
These are not really compatible with the REST standards, nor enable to "name" in unambiguous way the forge artifacts, trackers, etc.
I'd like to use this ticket as a placeholder for evolutions that'd lead to more standardized ways to name things on the forge.
For instance, instead of a ticket being named : https://fusionforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=79&groupid=6&atid=114
I'd prefer to be able to use such URI as : http(s)://fusionforge.org/project/fusionforge/tracker/featurerequests/ticket/114 or something similar.
This would have a direct consequence on the participation of the forge to Linked-Data and other Semantic Web applications.
Such URL may also be used as endpoints for REST interfaces, like POSTing at a tracker's URL for creating a new bug.
