Re: [Openledger-developer] Proposal of openledger API

Well this construct is IMHO what we already have. the XML part, is in
CVS called SOAP-API (seperate module/top-folder) and it needs to be
split out, in what belongs in the openledger-api and what belongs in the
SOAP-api - and then the openledger-api needs to have added new functions
(IMHO to start with, simply copying code/restructuring from SL will be
fine).

Once we have something that's working well enough for everyone, several
projects can begin:

1) build a GUI, to use the new API, instead of implementing it's own
db-access. This GUI should IMHO be template-based, but I'll leave the
design up to those, who wants to write it. Ofcourse, we as a
community/team can decide if we want to accept the code - but some code
is (in most cases - openledger MUST be stable - no accidents with
peoples accounting-data! ;) better than no code :)

2) expand the SOAP-API to support all the functions the openledger-api
has, so everyone can use the accounting capabilities of openledger, over
a network (or locally) - no matter what language they use.

3) construct an object-oriented openledger-api - this might be done in
part or in whole, in the first openledger-api - depending on who codes
it, and their preferences. The most important part, is that we get
somthing working as fast as possible - to attract devs and users.

... Anything we can think off, and more :)
