Forum posts can be scheduled in advance which is very handy when preparing a course at the beginning of the semester. It would be great if the web API could support the option for scheduling posts since then the whole process could be automated. (Our concrete use case is a LaTeX advent calendar where we would like to create 24 posts in advance, one scheduled for each of the first 24 days in December). As far as I can see, the web API currently does not support this, as timestart is set to 0 in add_discussion.
