Re: APIs Page

I think at the moment it would be good to just link to *something* rather than leave these links going nowhere. For the moment, can you just get these empty API categories linking to the landing pages for the APIs you have got finished or at least started? I see you've got a decent number in this state already.

In the meantime, I'll look at the others that we've got hanging, and work out some solutions for now.

Once we have a well-rounded story for an API, where we have full reference docs and solid tutorials, such an API could be presented in this section.
