I think a Web
Service for the schedule data is an excellent idea. I believe the reason
it wasn't offered from the outset was because the TV listings data was just a
trial. However I think it will remain a permanent part of backstage and so
we should definitely look into adding a REST/SOAP interface on top of
it.
Will let you know
what happens...

Is there any news on the results of the competition?
It has been a few weeks and unless I have missed something, it hasn't been
mentioned for a while.
Unfortunately the VoIP and SMS parts of my project are currently unavailable as
I'm on holiday and didn't want to leave it running unattended and my computer
has a habit of over heating :-(
On a different subject would anyone have any use for a TV Listings SOAP Service?
I'm currently working on one to help integrate the different parts of my
project, but could make it available to other people.
Have fun, I'm off for some Moroccan mint tea :-)
