Sure... I promise not to be too bossy ;) I'll put together a summary of
REST things we've discussed on this list and some links from the
interweb so we will have plenty of conversation food (yum)

Just to get more people interested: I don't think you really need to be
a huge REST expert to be involved (I'm not) - you just need to have used
REST with Rails and have opinions to share about that.

Definitely! Does anyone hate REST? Martin Sadler didn't seem very
enthusiastic when we spoke at the pub last month - would you be
interested in being the Opposition? ;)

Sounds fine to me so long as the chunk of code isn't too
large/complicated.
