How far along is this project?

So far i'm the only i know of that is working on anything, at least as far as anyone has said in this group and the post in the salsa commons.

Right now i'm in the middle of trying to create a module that will be a central module (api) that other modules can use to get/save data from salsa.

I'm somewhat there as far as getting data out is concerned, its probably not the most pretty method but i'll improve it as i go along, i'm having to learn the Salsa external api system (very little documentation for it...) as well as the drupal module system at the same time, so it's a bit slow going.

So far i have a standard query function modules can use to get data out, then its up to them to do something with the data. I'm also working on a module while i develop the api that adds a few blocks that will show various things, such as links to recent campaigns and email blasts.

What have you done before as far as integrating with DIA/Salsa? I can also send you what i have so far if you want to take a look at it (works in drupal 6 atm).

Yep, that is pretty much what i hope to accomplish! Right now i'm still working on the retrieving data side of things, if i do something wrong it's not going to cause any damage to the salsa database, just my coding Kung Fu...

I'd love to get to the point where when someone registers with drupal and fills out/edits their profile, the corresponding fields in salsa are created/updated as well. I also would like to figure out a way to mimic the cross site login type stuff that drupal has only with salsa, so that when someone has a supporter record and goes to login to a drupal site, they just have to enter their email address and password, and drupal will attempt to retrieve it from salsa if it exists. This is more down the road, but its something i'd like to create or see created.
