Piwik will be integrated directly in most CMS, blog. These third party softwares have often their own plugin installation process. So, we have to provide an API that can automatically install Piwik.

What does the Piwik install process?
- Create some config files
- Create databases
- Create sites => already available with the API
- Create users => already available with the API

I think we have to provide the API with 2 new functions :

```
createTables($tablePrefix, $databaseParameters)
createConfigFiles($listOfParameters)
```

Another solution is to merge these 2 functions in only one :

```
createTablesAndConfigFiles($tablePrefix, $listOfParameters)
```

Moving to post Piwik 1.0. It seems this is not a high requested feature, as Piwik got integrated with Typo3, simplescripts, softaculous, etc. without such API. I'd be interested to know how they deal with this?

We can always move it to 1.0 later if we get interesting requests.

Several users are integrating Piwik successfuly using the various APIs: users, websites, fetch JS code, set/get user languages, etc. We will deal with any specific requests as they arrive.
