Cool.  I can go work on other stuff!

Next on my list is a Discussion module that interfaces with Comments &
enables you to access module comments as forums.  I figured that it might be
easier than trying to interface phpBB or InvisionBoard with phpWS, since the
main problem seems to be that these programs want to handle registrations,
security, display and reporting on their own.  This way, in stead of trying
to hit 2 moving targets (phpWS core & thrid-party code) we can just
concentrate on one.  My initial design notes have 3 classes: Categories,
Forums, & Topics which will use Comments methods for posting & display.  I'm
not sure about Categories, though.  I'd like it to interface with FatCat
instead, but can't figure out how to make the Category/Forum display look
decent...

OK, I'm rambling.

Don, can you use it for multiple item types?  I was hoping for something
that's categorical & templatable, so you can use the one module for houses
and boats and cars and the input, search & display screens will be unique to
each.
