PHP 5

As I have worked with different content management and middleware solutions, one problem I have encountered numerous times, and that I think needs a better solution in drupal, is import and export of data and provision of web services. I think it would be good for drupal to create an import/export framework that would allow drupal developers to make re-usable, sharable import and export modules by implementing PHP objects to a few commmon interfaces and then adding their new import/export type into a central, common import/export module.

This is especially relevant for modern corporate newspapers that need to integrate content from different legacy systems, produce that content, then send it off to a number of different web publishing systems, and then also face the prospect of their systems changing if they are bought or sold. The framework as outlined in the design below could also be a means of implementing REST services (SOAP or XML-RPC would probably require another layer on top of this, though you probably could do it in this framework).

I am in need of as Senior a DRUPAL expert as we can find for a LONG term and ongoing CONTRACT situation. All work is TELECOMMUTE 100% from your home office. A very very robust undertaking that uses Drupal CMS at its core. Contract could literally run well into 09 . This project is REALLY funded and the corporation understands MARKET RATE. I have 2 consultants working on this project now and I have a long and successful relationship with the hiring authorites. They use only me to find talent for these roles and trust me as I do them. This one is a real as they come.
