QuickBooks Sync: Call for Experience
As we approach Magento 1.0, we will begin the process of developing the QuickBooks Sync module which will ideally use the Magento DataFlow module as well as the QuickBooks Web Connector (QBWC) provided by Intuit. If you have questions about this module in general, or you want to share your ideas or request support for specific features, post them to our group discussion in the forums.
We need developers, especially those with QBWC and Magento DataFlow experience. But we also want people with experience in these areas of design and development: framing, problem solving, brainstorming/ideas, Web services, etc. Please comment on this post below with your skills and experience. What can you bring to the table?
We also want to create a panel of framers - decision makers who will manage the project together. They will set the agenda, outline ideals/boundaries, finalize features/support, develop a timeline, and shape the overall direction for this module. This panel will most likely be made up of those that are most involved in the project. Other than myself, group member romy has been the most active participant in the group. If he accepts the role, I will make him lead developer and he will be on the panel of framers. Other ideal candidates are project managers, user experience designers, idea-conceivers/brainstormers, entrepreneurs, and problem solvers.
Post a comment below with a summary of your skills and experience for development, or your request to be on the panel of framers (or both).

Mad skillz w/PHP and QBWC! unfortunately, almost ZERO with Magento & DataFlow.
I gladly accept the lead for module.

Any progress?
We have a project coming which will require some QB integration. If there is team on this we would be motivated to help sort out requirements, documentation and testing.

The module is a work in progress, but not much headway can be made until the Magento DataFlow updates are released with version 1.0, so don’t expect anything before then. We will have an announcement on the details shortly.

How long do you guys think development will take to release a beta?

Hopefully this is now springing to life with the 1.0 release. Is there a to do list so people can try to help out?

I too am looking forward to the QB release now that 1.0’s out.
