Who would I talk to about breaking up a package (ie. Validate). Ian and I are hoping to break Payment_Process into a main package and then individual packages for each processing gateway.
We have two good reasons for this as of now:
1.) Different gateways have different dependencies (ie. LinkPoint requires XML_Parser).
2.) Some of the gateways weren't written by myself, Ian or Philippe, which makes testing and maintaining those gateways difficult. It would be much easier if driver authors had their own access to their drivers.
Thoughts?
