Re: proposal GSoC 2015 task: Allow access to the database via HTTP

as prompted to me, already there are solutions of this task: pgrest and
OpenResty

Then it isn't clear why this task is in TODO the sheet
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo...
Prompt what exactly is understood as "Allow access to the database via
HTTP"?
From what party to approach this task?
Whether it still also is actual?
