PSStackExchange

=============

This is a rudimentary PowerShell module for querying the [Stack Exchange API](https://api.stackexchange.com/docs), written to illustrate [a basic PowerShell module organization and workflow](http://ramblingcookiemonster.github.io/Building-A-PowerShell-Module).

This is not fully featured or tested, but pull requests would be welcome!
