You can not expect people to use an API that has no clear documentation and no stable interface that they can count on. And you can not expect a developer to try to figure out an API by scanning mailing lists, at least not this one. If it takes anyone longer to figure out an API than write their own software, well guess what they're going to do.
Then why don't they write an API with a clear documentation and a stable interface so that everyone could reuse it ? :)
Currently I am keeping a close eye on Shaman, http://shaman.iskrembilen.com Very promising but hasn't stablized yet.
That looks interesting indeed. And btw, it's probably easier to figure out the API by looking at pacman rather than this ML, and that's apparently what Shaman authors did. I was just thinking that maybe ppl who needs an API are in a better place for improving it and help stabilizing it. But maybe not.
