> I've got an implementation of this both the client side and server side
at api.wordpress.org. I've deliberately left out some things from this
discussion, trying to keep it to the bare minimum required for the initial
functionality, as simple as possible. The call is versioned so we can
always add more later.

versions of WP.

open to some visual suggestions there. Play with your version.php to see
the different states.
Cool, this looks good.
Some comments:
1. Is it worth documenting the API somewhere (either at api.wordpress.org
on on the codex)
1. I think the call to wp_version_check should run on a hook rather than
at include time - hook it onto "init" is probably best.
1. I don't think we should do the check at all if the blog is marked as
private / hidden from Google - this check is effectively announcing it.
1. I think we should warn the user if the update check fails - i.e if the
last check time is too old - so that they are not left with the false
assumption they are up-to-date.
