HTML Working Group

dixon_ — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 20:06:07 +0000

HTML is the primary language that Drupal speaks with end users. Drupal has come a long way in following standards and guidelines provided by the W3C, much longer than other equivalent systems. But there is still room for lots of improvements regarding the markup generated by Drupal core!

The goal for this group is to discuss and provide patches to improve the semantics of markup generated by Drupal core. Another primary goal is to review and refine the Drupal Markup Style Guidelines.

We need to keep the markup as simple as possible, but not simpler to provide just enough styling hooks for themers and designers. Yet, we need to keep the markup as clean and semantic as possible. I claim that this is not the current state of Drupal.

Drupalchix

webchick — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 06:11:07 +0000

Only about 1.5% of the people involved in open source are women, leaving us terribly underrepresented. In the Drupal world, we're up to a whopping 7%, which only gets us to awfully unrepresented. ;) This group is for anyone (either male or female) who believes that we can do better and wants to help.

So if you:

are a woman who needs some help/guidance in order to get (more) involved with Drupal and the Drupal community
are a woman who wants to network and get to know other women involved in Drupal
are anyone who has ideas on things we can do to help encourage women to participate in Drupal

...then this is the group for you. :)

This group is specifically not for job postings, so please keep those off this list. Thanks.

It also provides an API that allows you to easily add other actions a user may perform to gain points. User Points combined with modules from User Points Contributed modules create a useful mechanism to incentive users to participate in the site, and be more active.

Module metrics and ranking

MattKelly@drupal.org — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 05:22:46 +0000

This is just narrative between Greg Knaddison (greggles), Matt Kelly (MattKelly), Michelle Cox (Michelle), and Chris Johnson (chrisxj), at the moment. Eventually it would be nice to parse it up into lists with details for each point, or some other structured way.

I was prompted to build this project by the repeated frustration I felt each time I tried to find modules to do various things. Often, it was simply trying to find a module I knew existed and what it did, but just couldn't remember the exact name. Other times it was trying to discover if a module existed which supplied functionality "X". And yet other times, it was trying to find the best module to provide functionality that I knew was supplied by several modules (e.g. have you tried figuring out which module or modules are best for providing in-line image insertion in D5 using an editor other than TinyMCE? A solution does exist. It's just hard to find!).

It's obviously needed in the community, as can be seen from the forums, irc channel, and this blog post from Dries: http://buytaert.net/drupal-org-wishlist [matt]

The solution seems to be to create a better module searching application and add to it the ability to rate and criticize the modules. The current drupal.org listing and taxonomy system is too cumbersome. And with hundreds of modules and a growing number, it's not getting any better.

Lastly, I think we can provide the Drupal community a valuable service by solving the above problems. And we might even produce two additional positive effects: (1) encourage better modules via the rating/critiques, and (2) boost Drupal's reputation around the world by making it easier for people to see the wide diversity and great depth in the contributed modules available.

Singapore

jayjenxi — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 19:37:42 +0000

It is rather surprising to notice the lack of a Singapore geographical group to bring Drupalists in the region together.

Get to know fellow Drupalists from Singapore through this group. Given that Singapore is such a small country, it would not be too difficult to organise gatherings for Drupal enthusiasts.

Help to spread the word about this group and participate in the community.

Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein

Jan Krummrey — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 09:49:30 +0000

Wir sind eine lockere Gruppe norddeutscher Drupalnutzer.

Etwa ein mal im Monat treffen wir uns, um über Drupal und seine Anwendung zu reden. Meistens starten wir mit einem Vortrag zu einem Thema und öffnen die Runde dann.

Vom Anfänger zum Informatik-Guru, wir sind für alle offen.

Gallery2 Integration

profix898 — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 13:32:52 +0000

This group is a central place for people (users and developers) to talk about the Gallery2 integration package for Drupal.

The gallery module bridges between Drupal and the
Gallery2 photo album organizer.

Here is a good place to ...

discuss problems with the existing module
propose new ideas and features for better integration
coordinate documentation and development tasks

Please take time to think about your idea/problem before posting here.
This is no support channel (use the Integrations Forums or the Issues tracker).

Revision Control Systems

greggles — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 17:34:00 +0000

This group provides one purpose:

Coordination about whether and how the Drupal.org code repository should be moved away from CVS to something else.

Note that as of fall 2007 this is largely a moot point - until Drupal.org is upgraded to Drupal6 there is no bandwidth among the infrastructure maintainers to handle this project. To move forward sooner would require surprising amounts of coordination and effort on a new contributor's part. Of course, discussion and work towards this end (via the revision control API module) will pay benefits now and down the road.

Before writing here, be sure that you are familiar withthe many posts by jpetso about revision control systems the new release system and our issue tracking system.
