Update Confluence SOAP API to be at least as current as XML-RPC API, add more service methods for General Admin, Space Admin, Page/Content Admin, User/Group Admin, and implement processes/policies to keep it up to speed as Confluence develops.

There are so many more things that people could be doing with Confluence if the Remote APIs were bulked up.

And doesn't have to be that hard for people to keep up-to-date with the API as it changes. Anyone using Maven 2 in any project could use the org.codehaus.mojo axistools-maven-plugin to very easily and automatically generate SOAP client code by just including the following plugin in their project and putting wsdl into a wsdl directory:

<!-- target = axistools:wsdl2java -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>axistools-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<sourceDirectory>wsdl</sourceDirectory>
<packageSpace>csum.confluence.permissionmgmt.soap</packageSpace>
<testCases>false</testCases>
<serverSide>false</serverSide>
<subPackageByFileName>true</subPackageByFileName>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>wsdl2java</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
