I've taken a look at the proposed API, what exactly is it helping us do? I saw the groups, but the only thing that I understood is that contributing to them would be advocating a need for an aggregation API, which frankly, I don't think is needed at all (I'm open to other opinions though if they're valid and convincing). Would the current 3 or 4 aggregation modules have been justified if they utilized an aggregation API?
No, hence why all the other folks are joining forces to work on seeing if there can be some core upgrades. If you don't want to help with core, that's fine.
IMHO, we should make it compulsive that every module developer post to the mailing list before setting on a new module. This may prevent the catastrophe of so much repeated modules and repeated code.
That is the general guideline. But, of course, you're guilty of that as well :P SimpleFeed and others were in progress when you came along. -- Boris Mann Office 604-682-2889 Skype borismann http://www.bryght.com
