Hi Ross,

Just a quick comment re the API. We have an open task in JIRA to update the
documentation on the wiki:

http://www.mygrid.org.uk/dev/issues/browse/MYEXP-23

Don is currently drawing up a table to describe the current coverage of the 
API including write/edit status and as well as exisiting doucmentation 
level. Then we plan to update the API documentation especially around PUT 
support but also to include more examples.
