[wp-hackers] api.wordpress.org/themes ?

[DD32]

You want it now-now-now? Seriously, It'll be hitting trunk within the
next month.. I'm just waiting on some UI direction before submitting a
patch to trac for it.

The API probably has bugs and yes, you've jumped the gun :P, Because
i've not written the front end, so i've hard-coded the theme URL's for
now.. so the API hasnt really had a good testing.. (Infact, I dont
think its had any testing.. other than that it seemed to return the
useful results -- I didnt write it), The reason the URL's wrong, is
because it was a copy-paste of the plugin API code, the plugins and
theme URL types seem different :)

The Version of the API you're using depends on the URL for the actual
request, ie. http://api.wordpress.org/themes/info/1.0/ or
http://api.wordpress.org/themes/info/1.1/ (for a as yet, non-existant
version of the API)

Also, If you're defining any non-WP functions, it'd be appreciated if
you can prefix them with something, just so any Core function dont end
up conflicting with your plugin :) (I cant remember if themes_api() is
in trunk atm)
