Feature requests!!

3rdparty applications need a simple global database to store people's offers and wants.
Each 'proposition' must have:

• title
• description
• direction (offer or want)
• visibility setting (visible in local system, or globally)
• client system id
• local user id
• share_method(s) (permanent transfer, temp transfer, communalgood, service)
• payment (free, direct exchange, localcurrency)
• deliver_to radius
• coordinates
• quality rating (maybe 1-5)
• expiry date
  And apart from authentication we therefore need the following methods
• register_proposition
• update_proposition
• view_proposition
• filter by keywords, location/radius, pager, limit
• get_coords($address) would be useful.

Matt,

I'd call this a good step towards a solid API standard! We could build an interface for GiftFlow users to 'broadcast' their gifts to other platforms. Right now I see GiftFlow as fairly small and alone in the woods here in Connecticut, but maybe we could start to integrate with our neighbors using OurGoods.net in Brooklyn. My hope is that the movement grows quickly, making integration an immediate necessity.

Hans if you join this group, we can stay in touch with others
https://groups.google.com/group/api-for-sharing
There's nothing going on there, but at least there are other people who are
interested.
If nothing happens I shall have to develop it myself, but I'm not the best
person for the job.

I don't agree that you need a special interface for broadcasting. A
checkbox maybe!
What the world needs IMO is a small group of people who will build and
maintain the api and manage the default server implementation.

Matthew,

Great, I joined the google group. I am happy to be a part of the small
group of people who keep this movement going. I can't wait until we have
users demanding these sorts of features. Lets get this movement growing!
