Re: direct connect and libofx developement

This list could be handy, but I am not sure it ca crack the situation.  I
don't now what the legal reprocusions would be for stealing MSs list.
  For an idivdual to use I would see no poblem, but I don't know if we could
repakage the list that is there.

Personnally I need to get over the hurdles of getting the whole direct
connection to work.  I have built all the OFX/OFC/QFX support into my
application at the office that we need.  But I can't get anything other then
Errors back from any OFX server I connect to.  I am sure wen it comes down
to it I am probably ust missing some specifics with the OFX login request
packets, but I can't fin any authorative people to a about it.

Also a note, you can put ms moey in debug mode and it will save every OFX
request response sent to the server.  Just esending these with modiied dates
doesn't seem to help get a good responce though.

You're kidding right?  If so, the biggest hurdle to implementing direct
connect support has just been lifted.

BTW, I wan't to apologise to everyone for not being very active on
libofx-devel and in CVs these past few weeks.  I'm extremely busy with real
work.  However, I DO read everything, and if anyone wan't to jump to active
development, I'll be happy to spend the necessary time to get them up to
speed on the code base and future plans.  Here is my updated personal
roadmap
for LibOFX.  It may not happen in that order, depending on who get's invoved
in active development.

0-Branch the current libofx since the API will change.
1-Proper callback function registration, scrap the current callback model
for
data communication with the client, in favor of a query model.  Clean up
function names, constant names and data structure to be less tied up to the
OFX data model.
2-Libofx export support and API. This will allow aplications supporting
LibOFX
to export their data in a variety of formats, with a single interface. The
first format supported will be QIF, stealing code from ofx2qif. OFX and CSV
support is also planned.
3-Convert the gnucash ofx module to use the new interface and support export
functions (basic features: accounts, transactions and commodity). This will
allow testing of the export architecture.
4-QIF import support.
5-Direct connect suport (bi-directionnal communication with a bank's OFX
server). This will be a lot of work, and I will need help, since my bank
does
not support direct connect, so I will not be able to test it easily.

1 and 2 are essential for LibOFX to move forward.  Ideas for the new API
should be discussed as soon as possible.  3, 4, and 5 can happen
simultaneously.

As always, you can find me on #gnucash on irc.gnome.net
