Hi all - I wanted to bring an update to the list on the Mifos/Mojaloop integration. I have been working on this in conjunction with the Payment Gateway project that Sanyam and Rahul are doing with GSoC. At this point, I have been able to successfully do a P2P transfer between 2 Fineract instances using Mojaloop. I still have some additional work to do on this case - and have some other use cases to work on.
In the meantime, I started to document some of the flows and information about Mojaloop integration. You can find that document here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Mojaloop+Integration Please feel free to let me know if you have thoughts, questions or suggestions.
