Subject: RabbitMQ as Abstraction layer

Saptarshi,

Though you and I briefly du udder the de-coupling proposal, it was largely overlooked in the discussion on Friday.  Rephrased, the prop could be stated:

Systems interconnect by reading from and writing to an enterprise message queuing system, specifically RabbitMQ.

I know you had some concerns when it was first proposed.  Do you still have questions or concerns?  What's the status of this proposal?

Reasons I ask is that if we choose to decouple, the queuing system provides the abstraction layer for communication among HTML5 forms, OpenMRS, and CouchDB.  OpenMRS has no current interface for RabbitMQ --though it's badly needed-- and providing that interacts may be a good Stanford sprint project.
