That is, what's going over the net looks like this (example is for a 
category):

(self newCategoryWithId: 'aaac9f7d-6d46-471d-96aa-522dc546cbee')
	created: 3206703930
	updated:3206703930
	name: 'Class libraries'
	summary: 'Class libraries for Squeak to use for development'
	url: ''
	mandatory: false
	parentId: nil!

Note that this could easily be represented in YAML...
