However, up until recently, I had never submitted any of those modules to the Drupal community. I have been working for VML since the beginning of January and I have developed multiple modules for various projects. However recently I had the opportunity to create a project that I could opening contribute back to the community. My boss even recommended that I do so.

The module that I have contributed back to the community is one that allows users to create a node for and manage documents through the Embedit.in service using their API interface. I have created the first publicly available PHP library for interfacing with their API service. It is completely independent from the module in its design so that it may be used separately.

My contribution is an XML product feed generator script that is compatible with Google Base. It requires not modification of the Open Cart core and is a simple upload installation. This script automatically generates a Google Base compatible product feed and it can be modified very easily by any programmer.

If you would like to see my contribution just visit the Open Cart extensions site here:
