I have the M2 build up and running (It's really great BTW, they nailed all the basic social networking functionality). I'd like to start playing with the REST services. Is there a wadl URL I can hit to get a list of all the services? Thanks.

Short answer is: no. Here's the longer answer:

We've been focusing on the RPC API because it's the one that powers the widgets, and our REST API is in need of some work.

The REST and RPC APIs are backed by the same infrastructure, so REST should be mostly working but there are some problems that need to be addressed before we can provide code samples that show how to use the API. I just documented two of these problems in our tracker:

XML and Atom formats not fully supported in REST API https://socialsite.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=289

REST API does not provide XRDS file https://socialsite.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=290

(OpenSocial uses XRDS instead of WADL)

And we also need:
