#2193: JSON interface / docs improvement
------------------------+--------------------------

Priority:  major        |  Milestone:  undecided
 Version:  0.8.5        |   Keywords:  json, xmlrpc
------------------------+--------------------------
 I need to update my redmine plugin for buildbot, that still uses the old
 XMLRPC interface. Previously, with getAllBuildsInInterval I could fetch
 the newest builds without querying the names of the slaves first.

 With the JSON interface, I need to do that: Basically parse and compare
 longs lists and request multiple items. (slaves list, builds per slave)

 Is there any chance for improvement the JSON API and e.g. allow a list of
 builds, that can be narrowed down with select?

 Additionally, proper docs what select can do would be appreciated.
