perignon's sandbox: Commerce AWeber

I am discontinuing work on this module due to limitations with AWeber that has forced me to move to another email service provider. Anyone that wants this code and run with it is free to lay claim to it.

This module is to integrate AWeber lists in with Drupal Commerce. This module will create rules and cron processing to add people to an email list in AWeber based on however you setup your commerce rules.

The use case for this module was the need to do follow up emails to purchases automatically via AWeber. This concept could be applied to many different ESPs and maybe someday this module could be forked into an agnostic module that would be able to work with multiple ESPs.

Looking for co-maintainers if anyone is interested.

AWeber API Information and Disclaimer
Before you get too excited, you must know something up front on how AWeber API works. This is probably one of the most backward API's I have ever come across. The API they expose is not like most other public API's and it is very difficult to work with, why they even have an API is beyond me.

AWeber's API is semi public and what I mean by that is accessing it isn't merely having an account and credentials there is an additional step. You must attach to some registered App at AWeber in order to use their API. There are many public apps but they tell you to not use a public app if you are trying to get access to your user information that public apps if used could get access to your user information. So this forces you to create a "private app". To create a private app you must also create a "labs" account at https://labs.aweber.com. You then can create a private "app" and it will assign a unique app id. Guess what.. You will need that to use this module!
