Hi,

I have not made one, but its something i am looking at as a rest project, I am hoping it won't be too tough, i am guessing the SDK has alot of the tools we will need. I'll let you know if i get anywhere, as its a background project that has not started yet. I was hoping to use the SOAP interface to pick up the info and then parse to get the info.

I was going to wait until the full release of eZ3 before i started.

Let me know if you get anywhere with it.

Tony
