The internal web-services API that we're working on is going to be
REST-based. It's based on simple GET/POST requests and squirts things
back to the client as RFC-822 formatted messages. It was designed to be
easy to implement and work with, even from simple shell scripts.  We're
expecting the initial version to be available within the next couple
weeks. That said, I'd be thrilled to see a prototype SOAP interface, with an eye
toward eventually providing it in core. Do you want to start with basic
ticket display/create/update?


	Best,
