I was/am in the process of writing a more featurefull fs_selfadmin. But I
have a question after looking through the code of fs_signup.
I understand why the use of storable for communication between the 2
servers. But (I know freeside is a perl program) ;) I have a need to
create a PHP frontend for my customers. Trying not to duplicate work is it
reasonable to think about switching the communication method for thecgi->fs_*d programs to a more universal transfer to allow 3rd party
frontends in PHP,PERL,Coldfulsion,ASP,Java, etc. One I am interested in
right now is wddx. What do you think?
