HSBC Secure ePayments

[Simon Starr]

Hi,

I'm building a Rails app for a client who use HSBC and want to integrate with their CPI gateway. After a lot of searching I've found a couple of ActiveMerchant forks which add this feature, the most recent being 7 months old - https://github.com/tinderfields/active_merchant

However, using a forked version of the code makes me slightly nervous and I was wondering if anyone could tell me why HSBC support has never been added to the official ActiveMerchant gem.

Thanks

Generally the only reason new gateways aren't merged is that no one
has stepped forward to champion the effort necessary to make it
happen. If you want it to be merged, we'd love to have you put in a
Pull Request and work with us through any issues that need to resolved
so that we can get the gateway into the official gem.

Simon,
If you take the work done in any of those forks and and apply them to
the latest code I'm happy to review your code and make suggestions or
ask any questions.

I took a fork of the MiGS gateway which worked (but was a bit messy and
lacked tests) and really polished it (added all the advanced features,
plenty of tests and followed the high quality of standards I saw in
other gateways).
