(Optional) Registration of submodules to prevent namespace conflicts
I am in the early stages of developing a group of modules that will be inter-dependent and will ship as a single downloadable project. This has got me thinking about avoiding module namespace conflicts for submodules that ship as part of other module packages.

quiz questions bulk import script
As a student representing my college, I am organizing an online quiz on open source for a group of five colleges on 18 April 2009 which has more than 100 questions. I was lazy to upload question manually one by one so i wrote a quiz_questions_import script based on this article http://acquia.com/blog/migrating-drupal-way-part-i-creating-node. Bulk question import is a something often often asked feature in quiz issue queue so like to share this script with you guys here.

Feedback about CVS/SVN workflow for multisite setup
Hey there fellow Drupaleros,
I'm seeking peer review of my video about my CVS/SVN workflow regarding deployment for a multisite setup. I'd learned about vendor branching and svn:externals a few months ago and finally got around to setting up a system I was happy with.
What I'm wondering is if I could do anything better or how other people are doing similar things, but slightly different.
All feedback is welcome, leave comments on the site or email me via gdo.
cvs contrib procedure
When I gained cvs access, I read the drupal book pages on cvs and also merlinofchaos blog, and polled irc drupal-support.
What I came up with was that there are 2 ways of maintaining releases for contributed modules.
1) Always have the latest code in head, and only release a branch when the new version of drupal comes out. For example when working with module and it is for drupal5 the code is found under HEAD, when the module is upgraded for drupal6, create a branch DRUPAL-5 for the drupal5 module.
Q: Can I relicence a BSD project to GPL, so as to host it on D.O CVS?
Hello,
I am working on a base-theme yui-grids-framework.
First of all: there is such a project on D.o. already, but that one is a) dead, and b) suffering from the same thing I want to solve.
YUI grids is dristributed under BSD. From my tiny bit of legal knowledge, I recall that BSD can be relicenced as GPL.
In that case, I can simply do so, and then upload the results to Drupal.org CVS.
seeking CVS support
I have gone to meetups asking this question, asked on IRC, and tried stuff on my own, without success. Maybe Drupalchix can help.
In essence, I need to be able to routinely grep all Drupal 5 contributed modules. So, naturally, I wanted to download them all (because I haven't found another way to grep them all).
The following command unfortunately gets me a slew of things with info files containing "core = 6.x"
cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -d DRUPAL-5 contributions
Stylish Userstyle for Drupal's CVS Repository
Hey All,
I created a Userstyle for http://cvs.drupal.org with Firefox (and the Stylish plugin), and I wanted to share it with the community. If you're interested, you can download/install it here: http://userstyles.org/styles/9338. Before and after screenshots are also attached.
For those who don't know what "Stlyish" is, it's a Firefox plugin that allows you to change the appearance of any website/page, by overriding the CSS. You can download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108
Enjoy :)

Installation Profiles and Drupal's CVS Packaging System
The giants of the project module and Drupal.org's CVS/packaging system (dww, hunmonk, aclight) plan to add the ability of installation profiles to have their modules packaged with them, I understand. This will be a huge step forward for their value to end users.
