What is the status of this project? Is it finished or on hold right now or has discussion and/or implementation just moved to another location?
I am asking because I am at the beginning of rewriting all my scrapers for Rom Collection Browser. I had a first look at heimdall and I am quite impressed. If you want to have a look at my first attempts you can monitor them here: https://github.com/maloep/heimdall/tree/master/src . Comments are welcome, especially if you see anything where I may have misread the design goals of your API.
I am also unsure how to integrate this in RCB. I have added some features to RCBs current scraping process that I don't want to miss in the future (name guessing, interactive scraping, ...). So I am also struggling with keeping my scrapers generalized enough that other clients could make use of them.
It may be too early to answer these things but if you are interested I might come up with some thoughts/questions when I make progress with my implementation.
