Hi Rafal,
I don't really follow...  The api_example/ directory is an example of
how to use the functionality provided by the code in the api/ directory,
right?  If so, they are very closely related and I'd argue that the
api_example/ directory should be moved into api/ since conceptually it
makes more sense as well as cleans up the directory structure.

If the number of API applications grows from the current "example",
we're not going to put them in their own /api_app1, /api_app2, etc
directories, are we?  Wouldn't /api/app1, /api/app2, etc make more
sense?

Let me know if I'm missing something.

Best,
Peter
