We'll probably want to be using WebSockets for efficient messaging and live updates. We might be able to completely avoid developing a RESTful interface, but one of the main areas I'm unfamiliar with is WebSocket Security. I'm not sure how you would go about authenticating a user or anything like that, so if someone has time, it would be good to read up on that. This seems like a good place to start.
