Title:
  Allow users with external auth to use mobile apps

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In the current Mahara there is an option for a token for Maharadroid
  to connect to. I cannot find much documentation on how this was set up
  or how other applications could use this key.

  I would like to move for an API to allow for a Mobile Webservices key
  using xml-rpc (or similar) to provide a more open standard for the
  community to tie mobile apps to.

  I reference Moodle's use or webservices as an existing example of
  simliar use: http://docs.moodle.org/21/en/Mobile_web_services

  While I understan Mahara is FOSS and Android is FOSS, the reality is
  that a large proportion of educators and students are on iOS platforms
  and I would like it to be easier for external development of mobile
  apps regardless of platform.

  Julian
