i dont want to recreate the list module i want to create an external
management interface. afterwards you might use this typo3-rc to create a
flash based list module but thats not what i have in mind.

im thinking about graphical editors for complex relations like in uml
diagrams or other stuff. but to do it right there must be an well
defined external interface.

the question is not how to do that, thats almost quite simple. the
question is should i do it and how to do it right.

PS:

a small sketch for the api

class.tx_rpc_base {
	
	/* user login */

	function login(user,pass_md5)
	function logout()

	/* new reading methods */

	function getRecord(table, uid, hidden)
	function getRecords(table, pid, hidden)
	function getRecordSoragePage(pid)
	function getRecordTypes(pid)

	/* methods wich use tce-processDatamap internally */

	function setRecord(table, uid, assocArray )
	function setRecords(table, uid, Array[assocArray] )
	function createRecord(table, pid, assocArray )
	function createRecords(table, pid, Array[assocArray] )

	/* methods wich use tce-processCommandmap internally */

	function copyRecord(table, uid, .... )
	function deleteRecord(table, uid, ... )
	function undeleteRecord(table, uid, ... )
	function localizeRecord(table, uid, ... )
	function versionizeRecord(table, uid, ... )
	function moveRecord(table, uid, ...)

}
