Meta API for hackfoldr

[debuggingfuture]

Something like http://hackfoldr.org/hackathon/meta, which will provides the basic info like

{
 files:[
    "subfolder1":{
       "title" :"Projects"
       files:[
            "Hackpad for project 1": "http://www.hackpad.com/project1"
       ]
    },
    "About": "http://www.hackathon.com/about"
  ]
}

Use case:
We are building hackfoldr-mobile
To open a hackfoldr, we either

1. scrap / invoke api of a running Hackfoldr to get the links it provides
2. use the same mechanism as hackfoldr to get from google spreadsheet or ethercalc

We now have 2) for google spreadsheet, which one of the benefit is not to rely on centralized site like hackfoldr.org.
Meanwhile in the long run it might be hard to maintain the spreadsheet parsing logic across hackfoldr1, 2 and mobile version

Any thoughts?

Look like this?
for example: http://hack.etblue.tw/welcome-to-hackfoldr

Would be: (Updated)

{
    title: "歡迎光臨 hackfoldr",
    link: "",
    folder: [
        {
            title: "hackfolder 2.0 教學 - 基礎篇",
            link: "https://g0v.hackpad.com/welcome_to_hackfoldr?r=1#Hackfoldr-2.0-",
            folder: []
        },
        {
            title: "hackfoldr 2.0 功能列表",
            link: "https://g0v.hackpad.com/0.jmm9642fog5vcxr",
            folder: []
        },
        {
            title: "hackfoldr 2.0 專案開發文件",
            link: "https://g0v.hackpad.com/Hackfoldr-2.0-7TMSpXasDWl",
            folder: []
        },
        {
            title: "測試 subfoldr",
            links: ""
            folder: [
                {
                    title: "測試 link item",
                    link: "http://logbot.g0v.tw/channel/g0v.tw/today",
                    folder: []
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

yes this looks good!
for me I'm quite sure how is hackfoldr handling the backend routing now

@vincentlaucy Ethercalc have the new API for sheet.
It will dump JSON array. http://docs.ethercalc.apiary.io/#get-%2F{id}.csv.json

And Ethercalc also support multi-sheet. irc log
It may be used to collect multi-hackfoldr.

example: https://ethercalc.org/g0vMulti
multi-sheet: https://ethercalc.org/=g0vMulti
