Discussion: dat publish & registry API DEP

[joehand]

simple registry HTTP API DEP - informative (@pfrazee)

We discussed briefly the API around dat publish in the last WG meeting. @pfrazee will be drafting a DEP around this, but wanted to open an issue for any related discussion. The first DEP will aim to be simple. In the meeting we also brought up needs around:

• registry vs pinning
• it might be nice for such an API to have a way to accept "nominations" without authentication (eg, how archive.org has "save page now", or EDGI accepts nominations-for-archiving). most wouldn't implement this.
• a simple api for telling a rest server to archive any dat or hypercore is def useful by itself
• write to dat.json to prove owership for given registry
