Not so much in preparation for SMTs. The goal is much broader. If you can use the API to do it, we want to document it on devportal. There will be SMT specific methods and operations, for example:

Once these are merged to a public endpoint, we'll add them to devportal:
Awesome! Thanks a lot for your detailed response @inertia.
Sometimes I think it'd be great to have a "news window" or something like that on Steemit.com for all these informations that are related with the progress of the platform. Having so much content being promoted on the trending page lately, sometimes these really important messages don't get the visibility they should have. Maybe that's something to think about some day.
WORD!
