Wouldn't you join forces with http://drupal.org/project/mobile_codes ?

Basically it's the same feature.

When I wrote first created this module, mobile_codes was neglected and did not work at all. There were no commits for over a year. It looks like since then it has seen some love, but I don't know what state it's in. It also relies on a Nokia API to generate the codes, and that was not working as well. I prefer Google's generator, which this module uses. So while I certainly don't want to duplicate efforts and am happy to collaborate, I did not like the direction that module was going in. If the maintainer wants to discuss ways to join forces, I'd be happy to.

Just would like to announce a new QR code project has joined to the family: dot2code. You can check out some screenshots, a detailed description and the project roadmap in the project homepage. We've just launched the first stable release yesterday. Any collaborations such as feature suggestions for future releases and module testing are welcome :)

Title: Another QR codes project? » QR Codes & Mobile Codes collaboration.
Status: Closed (fixed) » Active

Hi guys,

Re-opening this as a potential collaboration post.

I am the maintainer of Mobile Codes, but yes I have neglected the module due to lake of time and necessity (it worked and there was no need to change it). However due to a recent temporary disruption in the Nokia Mobile Codes service I have decided to re-write it. But once I am done with the rewrite I will likely have no time for it again for a while.

So, I figure I'll share my basic rewrite roadmap with you and you can decide if you want in on the project and to merge the two projects.

The project is currently hosted at http://github.com/Decipher/mobile_codes but will be moved back to D.o. when it's ready.

Here are the basics:
- Rewritten with Ctools support from ground up for exportables and using the export ui plugin for the primary UI.
- User definable services allowing for unlimited Mobile Code services to be created with quite a few defaults, all exportable.
- Highly modular framework allowing for easy expanding of functionality; create a file named 'includes/[modulename].inc' and it will be included only if the module in question is present, currently adds:
- If Block module is enabled, adds a Mobile Codes Node URL block.
- If Block module and Shorten module are enabled, adds option to use Shorten for Mobile Codes Node URL block.
- If Block module and Mobile Tools module are enabled, adds option to use Mobile URL for Mobile Codes Node URL block.
- If Block module and vCard module are enabled adds a Mobile Codes User vCard block.
- If Libraries module is enabled and PHP QR Code library is present, adds a PHP QR Code provider.
- etc.

I would be more than happy to pass this work over to someone who has more time to provide to it, so lets talk.

Cheers,
Deciphered.
