Allow users with external auth to use mobile apps

[Julian Ridden]

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.
