Hi Padraic, I think these are great ideas for web service consumer components for the framework! I'm not particularly familiar with how exchange rates might be done, but I think both services are very much worth further discussion and exploration.
Provided that others would also support these ideas, I think these will be good candidates for web service component proposals. In the meantime you may wish to learn more about how to contribute to the framework in general and how to do component proposals. Here are some hopefully useful links with material on getting started: Zend Framework Contributor - Getting Started http://framework.zend.com/wiki/x/GgE Zend Framework Proposal Process http://framework.zend.com/wiki/x/Lw Best regards, Darby Pádraic Brady wrote: > --> > Hi, > > I was considering raising a proposal for adding several additional web > services I (at least) will be needing at some point in the future.
