Since the Contribute idea clearly isn't gonna leave my brain unless I seriously try it, but seriously trying it involves implementing and securing a new-to-me XML-RPC API from scratch-ish that I have no use for otherwise, I think the next step is gonna be setting up a little test server running an old copy of Wordpress (obviously not on the public internet) to see/remember how this thing actually *does* when acting as a CMS client. Which, if I choose to proceed, would also be helpful as a "known good" comparison to my own implementation efforts. (I can't find any evidence of a pre-made Django package for the MetaWeblog API, probably because it would need to be pretty intrinsically linked to the structure of something CMS-shaped, but there *are* a couple Django modules for implementing an XML-RPC server, so that would help)
