[wp-xmlrpc] GSOC Proposal - Extending WordPress Remote API

[Baptiste Bernard]

Hi all,

CRUD of categories could be great too !
No way to edit a category atm :'( so We can edit the "default" category
through api :/ (was forgotten by developpers a priori)

   - wp.newCategory
   - wp.editCategory
   - wp.deleteCategory
   - wp.getCategory
   - wp.getCategories

cheers
