[Dart] Can the Dart server data be reused by other apps?

[Matt England]

Speaking of Scott's comments about the Dart server data repository (and I 
speak of the Dart2 server...although I realize that "Dart2" is out, and 
"Dart/DartClassic" is in):

I'll be poking around more in the guts of it later, but I interested in how 
conducive the Dart-server "back-end" data repo might be to being 
reused/analyzed/mined by other applications, copied to database for 
external-lookup, trending analysis, etc.

I don't have any near-term requirements for this (unlike my push to embed 
Dart client functionality in my software), but I interested from a 
longer-term perspective as to what if anything my business might be able to 
leverage from this data in a broader-scope analysis then just 
test-and-validation procedures.
