One of the advantages of moving to the Drupal platform to create our FLMS is that Drupal is developed in the paradigm of modularization. This basically means that new functionality is added to the system in "safe" blocks. All code and development takes place in a module that is then installed without affecting the code of the other modules (most importantly, the Drupal/SCORE OS Core) and can be just as easily uninstalled.

So, when two recent fantasy sports services debuted this week, I got excited just thinking about how we could port the services that these types of sites provide.

LeagueSafe - a site dedicated to the fee collection and prize money storage process

RotoResume - a site dedicated to helping fantasy league commissioners find new or replacement fantasy owners

So, the idea is simple: We or LeagueSafe could create a module that "hooks" into the API that LeagueSafe provides and the interface with the LS services could be used in conjunction with a SCORE OS installation (granted, of course, that LeagueSafe wanted to allow this to happen). LeagueSafe would still be able to make their money off the float of the stored funds, but the users of the LS system wouldn't need to interface with two separate websites.

As we further develop fantasy games and incorporate other fantasy services, modularization will be the way to go.

Thanks goes out to RotoNation.com for alerting us to the two services above...
