[development] programmatic creation of node

[Victor Kane]

Actually...

Very often you want to put in a user name and user uid different from the
admin who is running a script.

In my case, I am admin / uid 2, but I want the "webmaster" (uid 4) to figure
as the author, so it would not be the current user.

It would be a parameter of some kind (in the running of the script, say).
