Hi Paul, That's great news! I found previous discussion about SharePoint's REST API in an older ticket, but we really need an explicit ticket for this work, so I created one: CONNECTORS-1247.
The first issue to tackle is authenticating. It uses OAuth, as far as I can tell, so we need to automate that in some way. I'll therefore start by creating a runt connector instance that does only connection and connection verification (which should be hard enough!) and see if we can get that to work right. I'm quite busy at work at the moment, so it will likely be this weekend before I can put any time into getting started on this project. In the meantime, if you want to do something (other than getting the instance up and running), could you verify that the documentation for how to authenticate as referenced from CONNECTORS-565 seems to work?
