[rt-users] New UX for RT: REST 2.0, json, and AngularJS vs Backbone.js

[akos.torok at docca.hu]

Hi RT users and developers,

Finally we had a short list of MVCs: Backbone and Angular. We think both of
them OK for this job, and actualy we tend to chose http://angularjs.org/

We would welcome any comments, opinions, suggestions or anything.
