hey

i've stumbled into PURL when looking into Open Atrium bundled modules.
when comparing to Session API, is there anything at all in common?

if they both deal somehow with sessions, would it make sense to combine efforts? or merge?

leaving the suggestion to investigate and compare both modules

It doesn't look like they have much, if anything, in common. Session API appears to be an API that allows modules to store extra data in users' sessions. PURL is an API that looks at page request parameters such as domain, path, query params etc and performs various reactions when certain domains/paths etc are encountered. ( such as loading data / overriding variables, etc )

As such, I don't see any benefit to combining efforts or merging, both modules perform distinctly different sets of tasks.
