I'll second this request. The XML-RPC interface has considerable potential
and that potential increases even more when XML-RPC is used in conjunction
with DokuWiki's plugins; however, I've run into the same ACL modification
hurdle mentioned in this post as well as a subtle obstacle related to the
lack of a consistent "error document" mentioned in a post yesterday.
One type of "error document" that is becoming more common takes the form
described briefly at http://api.evdb.com/docs/errors (which is the
documentation for the Eventful API, echoed by Yahoo, zVents, etc.).
Basically, there is an <error> element which has an integer and a string
attribute uniquely identifiying the error plus a <description> child element
providing human-readable text. In DokuWiki, it seems that a string "source"
attribute would also be needed in the <error> element, allowing plugins to
identify themselves. Potentially, there could also be multiple <description>
elements, each having a string "lang" attribute [which becomes more
important as requests target specific languages].
Just some thoughts --
