At the moment, since we were all too busy, our only specification is
the implementation -- but we use JSON RPC, so the specification of
that is online (http://json-rpc.org/) and we just need to specify the
methods + parameters, and those are currently in our sourcecodes.

Well, since I wrote my email above, I also wrote another
implementation of the API, that runs on the google app engine:

http://engine.sympy.org/

and there you can see, that I am using the exact same script
(ifemhub), only this time it communicates with a different server...
