Roadmap Scopes for Drupal Ethereum Module

Scope 1

Scope 1 for Drupal Ethereum Module will provide basic functionality to "Connect Drupal-and-Ethereum" wia a simple SmartContract.

• ✔ Remove unlicensed dependency on ethereum-php-lib
• ✔ Enable Blockchain Data-Pulling functionality for Drupal Backend
  • Integrate a Guzzle compatible fork of ethereum-php () and implement basic Blockchain data-retrival functionality
  • ✔ The library turned out to be outdated, unmaintained un-typed and buggy. I'm writing a new one (ethereum-php), which by now already covers more functionality than tbelles version.
• ✔ Create simple “Connect account” functionality.
  • ✔ Simple registry Smart contract register_drupal_ethereum
  • Drupal provides a hash,
  • user submits the hash to blockchain
  • Drupal verifies the hash and sets a role to the user
  • In the Drupal backend we provide a TX-address field that Drupal knows which Smart Contract it uses to connect Drupal/Ethereum accounts
  • This will Drupal admins to replace the “Connect account” Smart contract with their own version
• ✔ Integrate first web3js based transaction Signers for Browser (Metamask)
• ✔ Write documentation explaining the Blockchain techs for Drupal devs
  • General understanding
  • Providing a template for a login-contract and documentation how to deploy it easily with browser-solidity
  • Reading/verifying data with ether.camp

Scope 2

• Integrate Array data handling in ethereum-php
• Make sure multiple TX signers are pluggable ()
• Integrate Mobile TX signers (uPort) and evaluate QR based signing
• Configuration & deployment UI for smart contracts
  • provide a standard way to integrate smart contracts in Drupal. This might include deploying smart contracts from within Drupal
  • Parameterize register_drupal_ethereum smart contract so that admins can e.g. set a fee for registration
  • Evaluate how time based subscriptions could fit in.
• Write more documentation
• Evaluate and prototype TX logging module
  • The idea is the following: If you write a Smart-Conract Drupal module, it should be possible to "log" any TX made from the connected contract into a Drupal Contity/Content type.
