Issue #4053 has been updated by Chris Phillips.

I'm keen on this to be able to add a node to the environment as part of a 
cobbler / kickstart build process. Using external node classifiers in Puppet it 
seems best to keep this data in puppet dashboard as that (and puppet itself of 
course) is the only location where all puppet registered systems will be 
guaranteed to be found, and dashboard seems to be the place for dynamic node 
modifications to happen compared to Pupper itself. Whilst this data could be 
kept in Cobbler using cobbler-ext-nodes or such like, not all systems are going 
to be in there.

Looking forward to this :)

Feature #4053: Dashboard should provide an API to insert and extract data

As an example:

problem:
  it is cumbersome to specify initial data in the dashboard (groups, nodes, 
classes).
  linux sysadmins would rather work with configuration files (text) than GUIs

it would be great if I could write a yaml file to represent my group data and 
import it into the dashboard.

<pre>
groups:
  a:
    x:1
    y:1
    z:1
    classes:
      - one
      - two
    b:
    x:2
classes
- one
nodes:
  node1: 
    :classes
      - one
    :groups
- two
</pre>

maybe this is already at least partially solved by the restful API?
