no; the OpenCollab Services API is about sending information around and 
finding people to do that with. what gets passed (other than the identity 
info) is pretty wide open. this would make a really nice test case of the 
system, imho, in fact.

no, i think you should try and work with the APIs from the start. they are 
already being used by others, and the more people we have using them the 
quicker they will mature and become a solid, well understood area of 
technology that even more people can use.
