The xmlrpc function "wp_getAuthors" will provide user_id, user_login, display_name, but there is no method to Edit existing user/usermeta, Register new users, or Delete existing ones.<br><br>The only fleshed out implementation of user management via atompub that I'm aware of is Google's GDATA API for Provisioning on Google Apps (for Premier and Education Edition). This seems well thought out, and at least some of the decisions can be borrowed.<br><br><a href="http://code.google.com/apis/apps/gdata_provisioning_api_v2.0_developers_protocol.html#Create_Account_Example">http://code.google.com/apis/apps/gdata_provisioning_api_v2.0_developers_protocol.html#Create_Account_Example</a><br><br>Gallery3's API is supposed to provide user registration and editing: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:API:REST<br>Second Life's API supports user registration: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Registration_API<br><br>A proper implementation has to start somewhere.
