Hi Jonas,

Glad to see somone taking up the intiative on this, its been much talked 
about but never actioned.

If you look a the implementation of the code you will see there is a 
BaseContentReviewService that is exended by the Turnitin content review 
service. We did this specificaly to make it easier for what you want to 
do. In esence you will only have to re implement the methods that 
overridden in the Turnitin service. There are not many of them and 
basicaly its to:

- submit a document to the service
- retrieve a report score
- construct a link to a score

and a couple of miscellaneous things like returning an appropriate icon.

I hope we did it in a userful way - we had no knowledge of other 
services to go on ;-)
