XML-RPC Protocol

We are in the process of converting over the LJ XML-RPC protocols documentation and revising it for our implementation.

Using XML-RPC

This would talk about how to use XML-RPC from various languages...

Methods

The protocol is still in flux due to the change from LJ's friends system to Dreamwidth's subscription and access system. Not all of these methods have been pushed live yet, but the code has been committed.
