I think we need the concept of 'libraries' in drupal.


IE: they are modules that won't show up on the module selection screen
at all, and will just be enabled if needed / found.

I sandboxed invite.module which is an API which mails one time URLs to
users (existing and nonexisting as well). You can invite someone to
register at the site, you can invite someone to join a group an event
etc. etc.

chx, call it inviteapi or invite_api -- then the invite.module can be
re-written using the API. I'm hoping you re-used ideas from there, it
looks well done.


(and yes, event should really be event_api, and location should be
location_api)

That *_api.module is a very good idea. I thought that having *.inc would
be better, but *_api.module is way better, since these can be contrib
modules, and can be contained in their own subdirectory without having
to copy stuff in includes directory.
