Attempt to develop a C++ solution
http://code.google.com/p/modosmapi/

However that does the full thing, including history and all AFAIK.

Blarson is programming a t at h optimized API, you might want to get in
contact with him, I have no clue what he does and in which language.

I don't know if Ian Dees is implementing an API solution or whether he
works on the database side of things...

AFAIK there is no coordinated effort yet, just individual attempts which
are not public yet.
