I actually contacted Salesforce about the project before launch. I haven't heard back from them yet, but they are interested in how Zend Framework could be used on their platform.
Maybe you can tell me if they have services for which Simple Cloud API adapters are appropriate. Keep in mind that adapters can be written for almost any kind of service; it doesn't have to be a RESTful, SOAP, XML-RPC, etc. service. In fact, all of the adapters currently are written to what appear to be local services, like the client lib for S3. I've thought about how appropriate a document service adapter would be for Google's GQL database, for example. Of course, that will be some to consider for the Simple Cloud API after they finally get around to supporting PHP. ;) ,Wil From: Daniel Latter [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 9:49 AM To: Wil Sinclair Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [fw-general] Simple Cloud API Proposals Hi, Will Simple Cloud do anything with Salesforce? At the moment I am working with Salesforce and would like to help/get involved by providing a Salesforce adapter in the near future, would this be something of use? or is it not really applicable? Thanks 2009/10/5 Wil Sinclair <[email protected]> Hi all, On Sept. 22, Zend launched the Simple Cloud API project: http://www.simplecloud.org This ambitious project makes cloud application services from vendors such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and Rackspace available through one API, bringing the platform portability that you expect from PHP to the cloud. I'm happy to announce that the proposals for Zend_Cloud_Storage <http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Cloud_Storage+-+Wil+ Sinclair> , Zend_Cloud_Queue <http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Cloud_Queue+-+Wil+Si nclair> , and Zend_Cloud_Document <http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Cloud_Document+-+Wil +Sinclair> are now ready for review. Please take a look at the proposals and leave any feedback you have. Thanks! ,Wil
