Per snelson's (creator of these amazing sites) description of the Services module:
This module was created to provide an API for Flash and Flex developers to consume Drupal core services, as well as for Drupal developers to be able to easily create services for Flash and Flex consumption. Rather than limit this type of functionality to Flash and Flex applications, namely AMF messaging, I thought it would be a better idea to create a generic solution that can be used with a number of protocals such as XMLRPC, SOAP and REST.
As Drupal should benefit from this type of functionality/integration tremendously, it may be another working/learning project for some folks in the Drupal Dojo to get behind. May also be a nice forum for snelson, et al to discuss/demonstrate the project in depth (possibly in a lesson format).
More info can be found in the Services working group.

This is the most exciting area of drupal development. Serious help is needed with documentation, demonstration and examples. This has the potential to make Drupal the sexiest CMS of all... opps sorry, CMF...
Check the Lullabot Podcast - let the Dojo do some workshopping!
Check out the latest Lullabot Podcast:
There's a lot of learning and workshopping to be had with this type of integration with external sites and services. I'm sure the Drupal Dojo could run with this if Scott and/or anyone else could teach a lesson/provide some guidance.
Great stuff y'all!!
