A few folks are gathered in the Advomatic office in NYC this week to bang out a new backend and GUI for file uploading for Drupal. Yesterday myself, Aaron Winborn and Darrel O'Pry nailed down using PHP Stream wrappers to handle storage of files and embeded objects the same way- this means that we'll be able to use and reuse content from third party providers the same way that we can use content on the local Drupal file system- a big deal. Tomorrow we'll be joined by Roger Lopez and a few other folks over at the Sony offices to glue together the GUI and the back end- hopefully we'll have things ready by then!
