Re: Contracts

 

Yeah I agree, it should not be built into contractor.

As Christian said, I don't see a problem with having a
contractor-web-services package or whatever. Or if you'd like, have
contractor-facebook, contractor-twitter, contractor-imgur,
contractor-youtube, etc. packages, then have a metapackage of
contractor-web-services. :) However we want to package it.
