A new plan of attack

I’m giving up on the idea of writing modular plugins for every hook I want to add to xmlrpc. They don’t play nice together and require too many hacks to the blogging client. I’m going to write one massive plugin that adds all of the hooks I want and effectively overrides the xmlrpc.php file. It will essentially be the same as hacking xmlrpc.php but it will be less obtrusive and can be turned off more easily. Of course, you can always make a copy of xmlrpc.php and point your blogging client to that, but this will do the same thing and be easily installed by the less technically inclined. Not that I think it would be widely used, but there are a lot of hooks missing from the Wordpress XMLRPC interface that I’d like to see, so I think it’s worth the time, even if just for my own use. Things like tags, slugs, etc. And I can add support for custom plugins like adhesive and related posts that can bring some very cool functionality to clients like TextMate.

Anyway, I just thought I’d say it because I’ve been talking so much about all the little projects I’m starting. So forget all the little projects, it’s now one big project. A project to end all projects. Just kidding, it’s a minor thing, just something to do on weekends ;-).
