Answer 1

a few questions i have about your API.

1. based on the user can I get a list of all questions and answers the user has?
2. giving a user can I get a List<Questions> and List<Answer> that the user has made?
3. will the answer object have the following methods:
   • Answer.addPlus()
   • Answer.removePlus()
   • Answer.addNegitive()
   • Answer.removeNegitive()
   • Answer.setAccepted()
   • Answer.unsetAccepted()
4. can you do a search for names and get a List<user> that match or closely match the String you pass?
5. If credentials are passed in can user object delete account?
6. If credentials are passed in can user object delete/un-delete answers/questions?
7. If credentials are passed in can user make new question?
8. also interested in user.getReputation().
9. also interested in Answer.getScore() to get the current up/down score.
10. Question.getScore() , Question.addStar() , Question.removeStar() , Question.isStared()
11. User.getStared() should return a List<Questions>
12. User.getPlusQuestions() , User.getNegitiveQuestions() , User.getPlusAnswers()' ,User.getNegitiveQuesionts()That way with the user object you can get a list of questions and ansers that user has +1 or -1. Using simpleListandList` would make this very easy to use.
13. Answers and questions should also have the following methods addComment(String msg),removeComment(int id), getComments() "would return a List<comment>, the removeComment() may work better as part of the comment object. There should be an easy way to get the comment id from the comment object.

I'm very excited about your api and hope to see it on github. also If you added a plus and then call add negative it should know it should remove the plus prior to adding the negative.

UPDATE:

also interested for more User settings (delete account, new account, change password, all account settings) This would be great for when you want to manage your account.
