iRODS VOSpace Project on Google Code

[Rick Wagner]

Hi,

I am working on a pure-PHP VOSpace 1.1 endpoint in front of iRODS.  
The code is part of the shared Google Code project that Norman Gray  
set up. Right now, I'm only targeting a minimal set of features,  
namely public, read-only access into an iRODS collection. The code  
has not gotten very far yet, but I'm up the learning curve on using  
PHP's native SOAP classes. Also, as I'm building this I will try to  
abstract it enough so that adding support for other backends (such as  
a simple file store) is possible.

I've gone with PHP to take advantage of Sifang Lu's iRODS client  
that's written in pure PHP. As you can imagine, this make deploying  
the server much easier. Also, Sifang and I are on the same campus,  
and he's been very accessible.

Guy Rixon suggested that I share this on the mailing list, since  
there are likely other groups working on a similar project. If anyone  
is interested in collaborating, please let me know.
