Barcelona session proposal: Unified content abstraction
Posted on August 27, 2007 by agentrickard
I'm writing a session proposal and kind of thinking out loud. The idea is to provide a universal API for generating Drupal content outside of its original context. Something like the Component module on steroids.
Attached is a hasty diagram of the system, which would be a feeding engine for modules like Panels and MySite, and would make creating custom Blocks much easier, too.
In the diagram, the yellow boxes are the API elements.

Please whoever is organizing the schedules, don't schedule this one opposite one of my talks. :-) There are places where Drupal's push-style output is great, and places where you really want/need pull-based code. Component module was a quick'n'dirty pull module for when I needed it. Something more powerful that still gave us the simplicity of Component would be highly cool.
Larry, make sure you post
