But giving a large number of developers a chance to get started with something that's a no-brainer works best.When I'm writing this, it's about two weeks since I released our XML-RPC implementation for Python. Since that, I've received a considerable amount of mails from people who has put it into real work within hours from downloading the code.
XML-RPC is like HTTP/1.0 -- anyone can understand it, it can be used from all major scripting environments, and we're not even close to seeing the true limitations of the protocol.
If I were in charge, I'd suggest a moratorium: don't even discuss changes to the protocol until a certain point in the future, say six months from now. What's out there now works, so let's use it.
There are responses to this message:
