Re: jlcp ready for custom modules?

Stefan,
    Thanks for emailing the list.  Right now, there is no api for 
modules or api to connect to our services (other than calling our 
actions and taglibs directly).  Both of these things are under design 
and in the process of getting some initial code worked out.  Paul Hinze 
and myself will be working on a way to drop new modules into the UI.  
Matthew Porter is working on an intermediate layer (with security) for 
interacting with the other DAOs (data access objects) in our core.  
There is plenty to do, and I'm sure we could use some help somewhere.  
Matthew, your thoughts?
