jupp. specs-discussion would be the next step! I thought, it would be too early, but let's begin! *G*
for a start some quick drafts:

general purpose

retrieving information from streber without a browser-frontend
changing information stored in streber database
exchange information with streber with third-party software (e.g. EMail-client, external database, ...)

transfering information

using WSDL (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSDL)
user authentication via WSDL

defining procedures

I would use the established naming of functions in streber with prefix "get" to read specific information:

getProjList => all Infos, that projList offers for that authenticated user
getprojViewTasks => all Infos on a project-ID for that authenticated user
...

On the other side I would use prefix "put" for storing/changing information in streber:

putEffortNew => book new effort (requires all information like "start", "end", ...)
putPersonNew => add new person
...
