Redmine

I dont think email is the best way to do this - we use the email API and it works well but there is a 5 minute delay as we have only set up redmine to check IMAP for new emails every 5 minutes and this is frustrating if you want to push data into redmine and then adjust its settings.

What is needed is a straightforward HTTP Post string that will directly push the data into Redmine and then permit immediate edits - if RM had a RESTful API that would be perfect:

But until that is ready surely there is a simple POST URL that can push a basic web form of data into RedMine?
As an example attached is a highly edited form with just title and description that can be saved and then used to push new issues into this database (example: #1883).

If we only want to push a few fields from another database this should be easy to script? Of course if we want to pick from lookups (assigned to, target version ect) then it gets harder as record ID's are needed.

Please discuss about API requirements in #1214.
