It would be great if the code was integrated into Evergreen master! I 
have been searching high and low and failed to come across the your code 
and some others who may be interested in using it might find themselves 
in exactly the same situation.

Erhan, there is a dokuwiki page that details how to contribute code: 
https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=contributing. Maybe it will 
be helpful (especially in case you have not contributed code yet).

A side note - we have developed a module to pull external content from 
our Czech provider and also shared it with the community 
(http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/3.0/_including_external_content_in_your_public_interface.html), 
meaning that now it is very easy for everyone interested to find it and 
virtually just switch it on :-).
