I agree, but there is an existing protocol, it is quite undocumented and
use java serialization, but java programs can be made to automate things
now.

Well, the last 2.0 release will be done soon (by the end of december),
then we will start working on the XML-based interchange format. We already
have a preversion of the DTD that will be used, but it may change.
So it will be quite fast (I hope ;) )
Concerning the API of the admin server/client, it won't change. Only the
way the classes are serialized will change as we will use XML and not a
binary format.
