Team Update: XML-RPC (Friday)
The XML-RPC team is working on the implementation of an wp namespaced api for XML-RPC to allow the Creation, Read, Update and Delete of Posts/Pages or any CPT. We are focusing on a tight integration in naming and behaviour with the core WordPress apis and avoiding strict one to one backwards compatibility with the older MetaWeblog/Blogger post creation apis so as to create a simpler more consistent api.
Relevant Tickets: #18419, #18430, #18431, #18432, #18433
Some of the tickets have existing patches we are happy with and some we are reworking, our primary focus for the first week has been implementing wp.newPost (#18429) and reviewing the other tickets. Once the implementation for wp.newPost is complete the other APIs should come together quickly.
Office Hours: TBD – I will post these once we have them

We are going to try “Office Hours” of 5PM-6PM UTC every weekday so as to keep in touch and be available for questions – at least one of us will be there with more than one of us most days.

I think #18443, #18444 should also be added to use these functions.
Why we are not concentrating on custom taxonomy management in this release. Without that we will be limited to the terms already in the site.?

Those tickets are definitely ones we will consider for our next 2 week iteration but for the first iteration we are concentrating on the Create, Read, Updated, Delete for “Posts”. We are looking at simple term management as part of the Create/Update APIs to see if we can include a simple create on set mechanism there as well as looking at more fully featured APIs later.
