[wp-hackers] XML-RPC

[Gaurav Aggarwal]

Sir ,

What i feel is last year Move Idea was implemented but it had many
drawbacks. So i thought i would break my idea into categories like
1 With FTP - similar as last year but removing bugs.
2 Without FTP -  this will be comparatively slower

I think packaging part at site 1 could be added into core ??
