Description

The new REST content API in 4.7 would allow non-Jetpack users to use this add-on.

The biggest challenges right now are authentication and UX. Oauth tokens are better than app-specific passwords are better than standard passwords. The nice thing about the Jetpack API is that we can send folks to a single URL that lists all of their connected sites.

To support all .org sites, we will have to have them enter the URL for the site and then do a check to see what kind of authentication is available.
