Hi all.  I have a client that is interested in sponsoring the development of
Fed Ex integration.  If anyone is interested could you please send an
estimate?

thank you!

Sterling,

It might be helpful if you could be more specific: which API, what do  
you need implemented (rate estimates, schedule shipment, track  
shipment, void shipment, all of the above)?

Also, any particular use cases you have in mind?

Thank you for the advice Si.  I believe either a Ship Manager or an online
API will do the trick, which ever is easier to implement.  But I'll check
with client and see if they have a preference.  I assume the online api will
be more generally useful for project.

Client does not need rate estimates, but does nee the ability to schedule
shipment and automatically populate tracking code.  Void shipment might be
handy for cancelled orders.

thank you sir!

Hi Sterling!

I'd say this is probably hard to estimate, but it sounds like an
interesting venture. I - maybe together with a collegue of mine - might
be interested in helping out.

Two questions:

a) Did I get right that "sponsor" means that the implementation will
remain open source?
b) Is the focus US only or international shipping?
c) What's the time frame? Is this urgent? (Stupid question, I know, but
is there any firm timelines?)

Regards,
Torsten
