First off, hope you are all enjoying Drupalcon, super jealous.

Its been almost three months since I wrote about Creating secure, low-level bootstraps in D7, the gist of which is skipping index.php when you make webservice calls so that Drupal doesn't have to bootstrap as high. Now that I've been playing with this, we've been starting to work on a series of simplied calls that can propagate data across the network in different ways.
