Hi Nicholas, We have all been very busy in the last weeks setting everything up ( the website, location, hotels, phone/network connections, sponsors, etc.. ). I'm not the right person to answer you about the API and the development activity but I'll ping the guys doing the dirty job to get in touch with you and Oisin to set things up.
