Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Holes in the acs_object_id sequence

I feel that ns_export/import should genericize the ability to take lists and such and export them. On the other end it should take a standard (or non-standard) dump format and convert it to a standard tcl structure.

I would hope it could have a plugin architecture, but if not, it could comprise several functions.

I only mention it as an ns_module because I feel it should be below the OpenACS level and then can easily exploit existing libraries/C code.

On another note, I was looking at some libraries and found a few interesting crypto libs in C++, I think AOLServer can use lib in C++ but I am not sure. It seems that a couple of modules are written in C++ with a wrapper in C. Does anyone know about this?
