Reviews - to do about rfishbase HOT 7 CLOSED

see #46

from rfishbase.

Is it in-scope to review the API itself here? I don't know the whole story but it seems that the API itself is being developed by ROpenSci to be hosted by rfishbase itself at some point, is that correct? And that the API is primarily an interface to the FishBase SQL database?

We'd certainly appreciate that if you did -- the API is primarily in Ruby;
code at https://github.com/ropensci/fishbaseapi, but up to you I think.
@sckott thoughts?

I won't be able to review the API's code, but I'll give some feedback on
endpoints, etc.

@noamross yes, we built the API, but of course any data problems we can't directly fix - we just get the dump from fishbase. If there's anything in the API itself (the endpoints we chose to provide, API behavior, etc.) we can address them

from rfishbase.

@noamross okay, sounds good

Reviews are in (#46 and #49), so we can close this.
