I discovered Markaby recently, and am loving it! I''m generating scaffolds, then converting them to Markaby ''.mab'' files. It got me wondering...

Was the API written as an ActionWebService or just as a set of controllers? Any generic AR xml parsing/output methods that we may see in 0.13? Any reason you decided to do everything with HTTP Get instead of utilizing

Hi all, I''m asking this question from the standpoint of a developer with almost 10 years experience with Microsoft technologies, mostly doing server side component and database work.
