Designing a new UIO API

[Cheetham, Anastasia]

At this week's UIO architecture meeting, Justin and I were tasked with proposing a new API for UIO: What should we ask integrators to do to incorporate UIO into their site?

As we work on this, we're identifying certain goals that are guiding our choices. I've started a wiki page enumerating these ideas:

    http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Designing+a+new+UIO+API

(We do have draft APIs for some of this, but they're not quite ready for sharing yet.)

I ask everyone to please have a look at the points on this page and weigh in now if you have any thoughts:
 - Do you disagree with anything?
 - Are we asking too much?
 - Are there other considerations we should include?

We'd rather get feedback while we're still formulating our ideas than after we think we've nailed things down.
