Well, the OSLC-CM V1 specification would be a good start ;)
In short, it's a REST API allowing to submit, retrieve and change bugs.
It's based on either JSON or XML (RDF and ATOM) for the transferred
data.

The main consumer to be available first is gonna be Eclipse's Mylyn task
manager which allows to subscribe to bugtracker reports from inside
Eclipse and manipulate them along the corresponding code.
Mylyn's OSLC code is there but the end-user components are not released
yet.

I hope this is enough to get you started would you be interested :
http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/CmHome?sortcol=table;up=#1_0_Finalized
Maybe I could also have a look at a free software set of "demo" servers
that we're implementing for testing support of OSLC-CM on the server
side for Mantis, FusionForge and maybe others in the future (PHP for
now) at :
https://picoforge.int-evry.fr/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Oslc/Web/WebHome
The main advantage I can see for OSLC-CM is that tools like reportbug,
bug-buddy, bts, bz, bts-link, mylyn or others could only implement on
single standard instead of having to deal with various sorts of APIs
once the bugtrackers have agreed to use this standard.
In any case, it would probably be interesting if you had comments on
OSLC-CM's way of providing a REST API for bugtrackers.
Hope this fulfilled your moreinfo ;)
