Re: [VuFind-Tech] Drupal and VuFind

[Mark N. <mdn...@gm...>]

I've been building some APIs for VuFind that encapsulate some of the 
search functionality and patron functionality to make them easier to 
reuse within other applications.  Depending on how libraries wanted to 
integrate Drupal and VuFind we could use some of this functionality to 
build Drupal blocks that contain information from VuFind.  We could also 
display information from Drupal within VuFind.

I do Drupal development in addition to my work with VuFind and I've 
written a couple of books on Drupal.  If anyone is interested in helping 
to define a scope for integration of Drupal and VuFind or in sponsoring 
development of the integration, I would be happy to work on a project to 
bring the two together.
