Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

Welcome to the Meetup module's sandbox!

Right now, this is in development, and so this page is kind of a dump of what I already was thinking about. It will be improved later.

In short, the initial version will provide some blocks and some Views integration. And it may provide the former via the latter.

Things to think about:

* caching - how long, or leave it up to the user, or to views, etc.? performance in general
* query/option validation to avoid unnecessary API limit usage
* ladrupal.org needing its own API key eventually - will talk to Meetup dev support, they know me
* operation under error conditions, e.g. limit reached, API not responding, etc. (v1-ish goal will be to use previously retrieved information and bail before any new (or rather, no real) data is returned.

It's actually probably the most feasible implementation - a module that provides fields to be used in custom views - then people can make their own blocks and display Meetup.com data however they like. This would actually be useful.

Ideas welcome!
