I’ve been pondering adding some more (not just database access) services to the core of ZenMagick. Right now my (rather short) list of services is mostly made up of plugins and yet-to-write code:

• zm_cron
• zm_token
• a generic product association service that delegates to installed association plugins
• a rewrite of ZMOffers as service, plus the ability to plug-in alternative/additional discount calculations; this would be on product level and work as alternative to order total discounts that operate on cart/order level

The motivation to add the cron and token service to core is that they are way to valuable to be optional. Also, I found that in particular the cron job is already referenced from enough other plugins to justify the move.

If there are other services that would be useful I’d be happy to hear about that (preferrably with some sort of justification).
