Hi RT-Users, Hi RT-Devel,

today I started writing a XML-Interface to RT3, which relies on the 
RT3-Web-Interface and uses a simple Mason-Component to transform it's 
data to XML, so that it will be quite simple to install and maintain.

The Interface will offer three possibilities of interaction:
a) Data-Extraction: Extraction of data from the Web-Interface and 
transformation to XML using simple Stylesheets
b) Data-Insertion: Extraction of data from POSTed XML-Documents and 
transformation to HTTP-Requests performing certain actions
c) Combination of a) and b): POSTing an XML-Document and Receiving 
another XML-Document (like performing a search)

These possibilities of interaction also include the option to expand 
the XML4RT3 service to use it with XML-RPC or as a SOAP service.

Today I managed to write a little proof-of-concept and I am quite 
confident, that as soon as university is over (next wednesday) it will 
be possible for me to continue work.

In the meantime it would be great if you a) wish me good luck for the 
test on wednesday ;-) and b) discuss the model (even though the 
outlines are quite rough) with me.

I am looking forward to receive your requests, ideas and whatever else 
you have to say about XML4RT3.

Greetings from Cologne,

Benne
