Hi Shane, Did you have a look at HEAD? (you have to check out the api separately from http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=phpgwapi)
There is a lot if improvements to the API - as XSLT-rendering, a improved ACL, pdf-writing, reading and writing MsExcel-format (import/export) custom fields, custom drop-in-functions, syncml, it runs on php 5.2.4 - and more... There is also some new apps - like: ged - a document admin system hrm - human resource management demo - an clone of notes - but with customizable fields sms - a port of PlaySMS property - a faclilities managemenet system There is a development project that is starting these days (in Norway) - which Dave (skwashd) is a part of. The project is focusing on the app 'property' - but there might be some overlap somewhere along the path where we could pull our resources together.
