there are (long term) plans on having an API to faciliate several functions, this
is related to an upgrade of the whole support server platform. This will
then enable a whole raft of features (such as being able to download your clients.conf
and proxy.conf file from the support server via the API, adding/deleting locations
would also be in scope as would getting a current view of the configuration
used by the NRPS for your organisation.
however, the other part to this is code to be run at the sites....and that requires
input from the community to deal with the APIs of the platforms people use - and
whether or not those platforms can give out such data (and if its meaningful).
sites would have to spend a lot of time internally to ensure their APs are mapped correctly
in either case.
Lets at least start with each site having a good current starting point (no 'default location'
in sight! :-) )
