Development:Web services

This page is to decide on a STANDARD list of CORE web service functions that we should support in Moodle (by XMLRPC, REST and SOAP) as an API for those writing code to work against Moodle.

Please add new functions if there's functionality you want that isn't covered (we can refactor/whittle at the end).
