RFC - Drupal Eventbrite Module

EventBrite[1] is a service that allows management of events.

EventBrite provides an open API [2] to integrate with their system , which provides many services [3] which are either non-trivial or perhaps impractical to do in Drupal.

Perhaps the Drupal module would be useful in the following use cases:

• You want to charge for an event, but don't want to use Calendar/Signup/RSVP/Date/payment/etc
• You want advanced features provided by Evenbrite
• You already use Eventbrite

Proposed Features:

• provide a CCK node type, or just a node field
• provide a view with date api field for calendar display
• integrate with profile
• import/export users
• use Evenbrite as a login option (email password) allowing integrated signup, and allowing more of the user experience to stay on your site.

Any thoughts as the module enters planning stages is welcome. Some topics for discussion:

• Would you use this module? Why?
• Where does this overlap with Drupal functionality and where should it be integrated/separated?
