[bop-devel] Is this list live?

[Bowen, Peter]

Mike,
  Do you have the time?  This is a big task and not for the faint of
heart.  The first step would be to identify all of the methods and
properties from all of the bop modules... Once you have done that, you
could make some recommendations.  I would not be opposed to using some
well defined methods and properties in my bop module.

Hey,

Is development on this module still ongoing?  Is there some kind of
archive for this list?

While I'm a newbie to the OnlinePayment module history a few things jump
out at me regarding v2 and v3.

It seems like there should be a standard for field names with each
module adapting the field name to their processor's idiom.

Is there a reason we don't have standardized data validation?  I know
that some processors charge by request so a user putting in invalid data
can cost you $.20 - $.30 per attempt.  By having the data validation
routines in the core OnlinePayment module we can catch and reject
requests before we even make an outside connection.

Is there a reason we don't have authorize, capture and refund methods in
addition to the commit method?  Leaving each module author to define the
value you send to determine if you're doing an authorize or a capture
makes it difficult to change from one module to another.

Personally, it also seems like creating a 'merchant' object which
contains the merchant information and is an object factory for
transactions would better seperate the merchant specific information
from the client information.

Sorry for the rambling email - I've been thinking about this quite a bit
lately.

-Mike
