| − | Why reinvent the wheel? Many book widget designers are interested in similar things: show book covers and other book data, use COinS or unAPI for integration with other applications, show availability, etc. My OpenBook plugin works in WordPress but much of the code can easily be adapted for other environments. As I move forward with OpenBook development, I would like to move the non-WordPress-specific code into code modules that can be shared with WordPress and non-WordPress widgets/plugins/modules. If others do the same, we can reduce effort. John Miedema
