I'm Arunoda Susiripala from Srilanka.
I did google summer of code last year on Joomla! [0]
Project Proposal [ DConnekt ]
I want to purpose here is a integration engine which allows to integrate different application with Joomla! in a abstract way.
As an example if we successfully implemented this with Drupal ; we can bridge other application like Elgg, Wordpress without coding inside Drupal.
I've implemented Joomla version for this last GSOC and now it can be available here (called JConnekt) . [1]
What I propose it to build JConnekt core as a Drupal Module.
Benifits we can get from this
Now JConnekt supports with Elgg and Wordpress integration comming soon.
If we build JConnekt as a Drupal Module we can connect with existing elgg and wordpress plugins used for JConnekt.
that means if some external application creates a plugin to connect with JConnekt it'll also be suitable for this module too..
And we can bridge other application with Drupal without touching any Drupal code! (that means if you need to connect PHPBB with Drupal just implement DConnekt endpoint in PHPBB and bridge with Drupal)
