/**
 * A slightly saner interface for JangoMail Sync than the one they supply
 *
 * This is a demonstration of how to produce a more security-aware interface for JangoMail's
 * web database synchronisation system. It is not guaranteed in any way and is not meant
 * to be seen as an example of best practice on any level. It does, however, demonstrate how
 * the flaws in that system can be worked around to build a reasonable JSON-based interface
 * when working with recent versions of PHP.

# Paypal CSV to QIF
# By James Stewart - james@ketlai.co.uk
#
# A really simple script attempting to get data from my paypal account (multi currency)
# into Xero. More adjustment will be needed to handle the multiple currencies, but I've
# not found good documentation of how to bake that into the QIF file yet.
#
# (I know paypal do qif output, but it seems to only send transactions from one currency)

# Facebook allows you to specify an RSS feed to poll to get new 'notes' for personal
# profiles, but no similar mechanism to feed a feed in as a group's "news" (possibly
# because of the awful data model around groups...)
#
# This is a quick mechanize script to update the 'news' box for a group you are an
# admin of. It's very basic, but works, and could be developed with an RSS reader
# or as an activerecord callback to send a new blog entry/news story to facebook, or...
