7301	AtomPub interface should accept new categories provided by clients	redsweater	josephscott	"The AtomPub interface successfully exposes access to the existing categories of a particular blog, via the URL:

http://[myblog]/wp-app.php/categories

But the category listing is identified as ""fixed"", and this pans out. When a  client attempts to provide a category term with a name that has not been seen before, the interface just ignores it.

It would be a nice enhancement to change the category collection to an editable one, and support provision of arbitrary new category names on supplied posts to the wp-app interface.

As it is now, there is no way to add categories via the AtomPub interface.
