[wp-hackers] Creating new categories via the XMLRPC API

[Callum Macdonald]

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the links, yes, the WordPress API is clearly the way to go.

However, as of downloading the latest version wordpress.org, the 
xmlrpc.php file does not include any of these functions.

Does anyone know when these changes will make it to a production release?

Cheers,


Callum.
