So. Actions are really simple. You can think of them as function calls.

Every action has zero or more parameters. In the end, when you call an
action remotely, (or locally), its "take_action" sub is called.

in take_action, you can call with a data structure $MY_DATA:

Jifty->result->content($MY_DATA);

Give it a shot and post what you get and what's hard to jifty-devel and
folks will help get it to a committable state :)

Best,
Jesse
