 * I stumbled upon this plugin as I’m trying to build a solution where individuals/
   businesses can manage multiple websites. With that being said, I saw the python
   script in the /bin folder for this plugin but didn’t find it helpful whatsoever.
   Can someone provide an example on how to utilize the API?
 * Thanks!

   seeing that the support for this plugin was..say , on the ..weak side …!:

 * We were able to test the plugin and it works for the most part but few commands
   are buggy and is not working. My assumption is that this is not a project they
   are planning to maintain for future. Its already buggy and there is not much 
   releases or bug fixes issued.
 * I must say, the plugin works and it would have been an interesting project if
   they planned to keep the development going.
