The plan is to build a software package to consume and distribute EMWin data over the Internet. There are other pieces of software that already do this but few are free and most (all?) don't really run on Linux.

Modules

Incoming

The Incoming module will reach over over the Internet to a data source and poll for new products.

Processing

The Processing module will review the products that has been received and see if any of it should be acted upon. This is where subscribers would get their messages based on what they have subscribed to. It would be nice if this module would talk back to the Incoming module to let it know what it needs to be importing, thus limiting what it's pulling down. I'm thinking that the products could be stored in a database to make parsing easier.

Expiring

The Expiring module will review all the products and remove any that have expired.

Web

The Web module would allow an authenticated user to gain access to the system and see active products.

Subscriber

The Subscriber module would maintain a list of what people want and how to deliver it.
