There has been talk of building a component API standard that 3PDs could use to integrate components with each other. To facilitate this, I propose a session where 3PDs get together and work on a solution that could be implemented and tested now, with the goal being eventual adoption in the Joomla core. A 3PD component API will make it easier for developers to write integrations between components, providing some reassurance that simple patches won't break things.
