Hey Jason,
we talked about this a bit on Tuesday meeting and you mentioned having some 
plans about extending the information being transmitted over XML-RPC. I remember 
something about "extras" and "cookies", but that's pretty much it. If you could 
just summarize what you had in mind, I'll start figuring stuff out and 
implementing it.
