module xml feature request

["St.Ego" <ckraeft (at) xaraya.com>]

If I understand you correctly, this would allow for me to:
1) Copy module data (ie: xTasks/xProject) between my site and the 
client's site (assuming both on Xaraya).
2) Copy helpdesk tickets from the client's site to my site when they are 
created.

If correct, it seems that this would also be a component that needs to 
be incredibly secure in order to avoid abuse by a malicious third party.

You would proly need to set up site "keys" to handshake with at sync 
time, maybe even restricting each key to specific function calls 
designated at creation.

Incredible possibilities, tho.
