Does anyone know if there's any work being done to fix the problems with using the XMLRPC interface with third party apps? While WordPress is a terrific product, I would like to be able to use applications such as NetNewsWire (my personal favorite) or ecto (am I the only one who gets confused about the interface?) to update my blogs.
I did a search in these forums, and there seems to be other people wondering the same, but no clear answer has been given from the developers.
I consider myself an adequate PHP developer, so I might be able to figure it out on my own (and would of course submit the solution to the WordPress team). But before I dive into the code, it would be nice to know if anyone is already working on this.

I'm the developer who does most of the work on the XML-RPC API support. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Mac, so I can't debug with NetNewsWire to determine why it has problems.
I do most my testing against w.bloggar (for testing the Blogger API) and Zempt (for testing the MovableType API). I know that there have been problems with posting from NewzCrawler, and I even gave the NewzCrawler developers access to my WP test blog, but we still haven't worked out the source of the problems. -

Hi dougal!
Do you maybe have an access to Linux. I am trying to post to WP 1.3alpha with BloGTK 1.0 (http://blogtk.sourceforge.net/) but it does not work.
BloGTK supports Blogger, MT & MetaWeblog APIs.
It's very nice client for posting to WP, but it looks that something changed in xmlrpc.php from 1.2.x --> 1.3.x?
Sincerely,
Gour -
Will xmlrpc be rereleased in the download pakcage? It was removed from the 1.2.1 package, so quite a few people deleted it, but the mods here say that was a mistake. Will it be returning soon?

i just wanted to confirm that in my experience ecto 1.1.8 for MacOS 10.3 works with 1.2 Mingus. i have not upgraded WP to 1.21 or 1.3. ecto 2 looks really cool (partic the rich-text editor) -- hope it still works.
