[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Proposal for a Vendors' Module

[Jason Stephenson]

Hi, all.

Recently I've had talks with a vendor that one of our library members  
is signing up to use about getting data to them in an efficient  
manner. It turns out that Bibliomation also uses this vendor. While  
discussing details with Bibliomation and the Vendor, we came up with  
the idea of adding a standard Vendor module to Evergreen that can be  
used to implement custom data feeds for the various vendors that we  
all use.

I have put my notes up on MVLC's EGDev Wiki:

http://egdev.mvlcstaff.org/Vendors_Module

I am looking for input on this proposal before beginning any work. I'd  
like this to be something that is incorporated into mainline Evergreen  
if it turns out to be something that would be truly useful for the  
reasons outlined in the Rationale section of the above document.

You can leave comments on the Wiki or reply to this email.

Thanks,
