Hello Eric, The Tool Shed wiki is currently undergoing significant changes which will hopefully result in an improved set of documentation. This is a high priority between now and October ( see https://trello.com/c/Gg0jnll7/191-wiki-improvements and https://trello.com/c/uHyAaCLT/176-tasks-for-completion-by-october-2014). In the meantime, you may find my blog posts to be helpful ( see http://gregvonkuster.org ) Greg Von Kuster On Jul 15, 2014, at 4:00 PM, Eric Rasche <rasche.eric@yandex.ru> wrote:

Hi Greg,
Sorry about that, toolshed development hasn't been very visible in my view of galaxy thus far, so it seemed like asking someone who knew would be the fastest route here. I'll ensure my future inquires go to galaxy-dev.

Hello Eric,
Please use Biostar or the Galaxy dev mail list rather than individual email addresses in order to ensure faster responses. Pleasse see my responses below.

Howdy Greg,
Since there isn't really a public/published roadmap and you're the toolshed guy, I'm emailing to see if I can find out what's in the toolshed's future.
The tool shed Trello board at https://trello.com/b/vHqpKpZF/galaxy-tool-shed is the roadmap for the Tool Shed. Just like the Galaxy Development Trello board, you should be able to add new cards to the Inbox, and vote on existing cards to raise their priority. Please let us know if you are not able to do these things.
I was not aware that a trello board even existed for the toolshed, that would have answered some of these.
(It might be good to have it mentioned more than once on the wiki, perhaps under "Toolshed" and not just under "Issues")
Specifically, I'm wondering if there will be API calls for the following things:
- creating repositories
I've added the following Trello card for the above feature. However, it is currently possible to create new repositories via the API by importing a repository capsule (i.e., ~/api/repositories/import_capsule).
https://trello.com/c/cUUWeBCi/234-enhance-the-api-to-enable-creation-of-new-...
- obtaining a list of categories
The above was introduced in the June 2, 2014 release, so, for example, the following will work.
Are any of these API changes documented outside of mercurial/DevNewsBriefs (trello)?
My go-to locations for documentation are the wiki and readthedocs.
Neither https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/ToolShedApi or http://galaxy-dist.readthedocs.org/en/latest/lib/galaxy.webapps.tool_shed.ap...
has up-to-date documentation. Is there another place I should be looking for static, complete toolshed API information?
- obtaining category information within the /api/repositories call
I've added the following Trello card for this feature.

Thanks!
Cheers, Eric
