Thanks for the link Jools. I noticed that you mention that error  
checking is limited MediaWiki::API->upload. Is this because you are  
having to parse the HTML returned for error messages?

I think I'm going to wait for an official API. It isn't mandatory that  
we support MediaWiki in our application, it would just be nice for  
some of our customers.
