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

[Joseph Scott]

A method to provide event notifications would be interesting, but
probably not worth targeting this for mobile clients.  Virtually
guaranteed that any mobile app that would be interested in these
events would need to use the event mechanism for that platform.
Holding open a connection or polling on a mobile client is a horrible
battery drain.

As scribu already mentioned on
http://nprasath.com/wordpress-webservices/ management of CPT's isn't
really viable via XML-RPC because they aren't persistent, but editing
CPT content would be really handy.  Same for other features in WP that
are non-persistent.
