Could XML-RPC Turn Evolution CMS into a Remote Publishing Backend?

This donor captured an interesting ecosystem idea: using XML-RPC to edit and publish Evolution content from external tools such as Sublime Text or mobile clients.

Long before modern headless and API-first patterns became normal, people were already asking whether Evolution CMS could expose remote editing workflows through XML-RPC. The motivation was straightforward: write and publish from better tools without living inside the manager full time.

The vision

  • edit content in Sublime Text with syntax highlighting
  • push updates back into Evolution CMS remotely
  • potentially support mobile or native clients later

Why this is useful historically

This was not just a plugin request. It shows an ecosystem-level desire to make Evolution CMS more tool-friendly and less locked to one editing surface.
