+DOING: adding integration objects and routes for qbi and others
+	todo: document this in the developer section
+	todo: needs a front end to show the integration log, the integrations as a collection list and openable item where it can be disabled, deleted etc
+		needs to be available to bizadmin I guess and possibly accounting?? or should each integration control which roles see it??
+		or should the UI for each integration be *in* the integration itself and also in one place for biz admin to super control all integrations and troubleshoot log sb available to ops
+	todo: doc front end additions for integrations
+
 JUST DONE: posted rc.1 updated forum (and turned off "views" column in custom css in forum as well it was looking pathetic)

 	QBI NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE RAVEN RELEASE AS RAVEN MAY REQUIRE MORE OBJECTS FOR DATA MAPPING AND OPTIONS SAVING IN CENTRAL LOCATION ETC
 		This saves users needing to back up their local QBI only settings and mappings separate from RAVEN backup
-		
+		Integration objects and integration log plus front end to see that shit and remove / control it
+
 	QBI order of release decision (does raven qbi need to be released along with v8 simultaneously??)
 		if yes then need to whip that shit up pronto with a beta to go with RC for raven
 		figure out how many active qbi users, like will this prevent most people from upgrading?
