Another interesting example is Adobe's use of XSL stylesheets to generate ActionScript documentation for classes and methods. As part of the open source Adobe Flex 3 SDK, a command line program called ASDoc is provided to generate HTML documentation (such as the the ActionScript 3.0 Language Reference) by iterating through class files in a specified class path and parsing comments that have been formatted according to the conventions outlined in the ASDoc documentation.
It would be interesting to see if it is possible to use a similar process for documenting the inner workings of Symphony.
Here's a REST API for Xbox Gamertag Data

Use '+' for any spaces in your gamer tag name. This link will give you all the Xbox Live information about your gamer tag in XML.
I currently use it on my site.
Well, as soon as I post this, the service gets spotty. It's was reliable for a long time. maybe they're updating things ...
I've noticed that Cultured Code's Things app stores everything in an xml file. I currently store my Things DB in a Dropbox so it syncs among my machines. I'm thinking of playing with GETing the db from Dropbox into a webpage (just need to have an auth cookie in th request.) I haven't checked out the write functionality, but I'm guessing it could just be a POST. Dropbox doesn't have a published API unfortunately.
Another Xbox Live API: http://360voice.gamerdna.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3
Lots more options. (For info on the community site.)
