Fixit marathon!

[denise]

I am calling for a fixit marathon!

Currently, there are 472 open bugs (354 unassigned; 118 assigned). I think we can totally get that down to 400 or fewer open bugs by next Monday (July 6) if we really dig into things, even if more bugs get opened up.

To that end, I'm declaring a Fixit Marathon. While mark works on reading filters this weekend, let's see what else we can do.

I pledge to fix five bugs this weekend! Who's with me?

Protocols discussion

[foxfirefey]

Somebody brought up the topic of Really Simple Discovery and the Metaweblog API in dw_news, so now might be a good time to discuss protocols and our plans.

We currently have one bug to update the Atom publishing protocol and some bugs about updating our XML-RPC.

This is a post to collate discussion about:

1. What APIs do we currently support, and what state is our support for them in?
2. What APIs exist and what are their pros and cons? How popular are they with regards to services and clients that support them? How extensible are they, since we have unique posting metadata? Which ones would be a good fit to implement or improve? Where are good resources and documentation about them?
3. Where do we want to head with posting APIs, our overall goal?
