Re: PayPal Integration

[Alvin Starr <..hidden..>]

This whole line of thought opens up the area of API's
Having a programmatic way to access the accounting system (other than 
faking out the web interface) is to some extent a vital feature.
Another nice feature would be the ability to set up events. For example 
allow an external program to be run whenever an invoice is created or 
changed.
It may be possible to simulate events using triggers on the Postgres 
database but I am not sure.

There looks to have been some work done on an api in the past but I 
could never get anything to work for me.

A super cool groovy ability would be some kind of plug-in architecture 
but that's a real wish list kind of thing.
