Modules Section of January Issue

Ok, been reviewing the most recent newsletter, and writing some notes. I've been mostly going through all the modules, to see what modules we might want to highlight. I think we should only feature a few modules, with a paragraph or two about each, ensuring we're featuring mature, maintained, and moderately useful modules.

Looking at that list, I knocked off most of the modules, because they weren't ready for production, or had some critical show-stopping issues (although looks like developers are working on them in a couple of cases). I figure we can push those to a later queue. Maybe even make a new wiki for ongoing featured modules, so we can have an ongoing idea of future newsletter issues.

The ones I'm proposing we feature for this issue, based solely on what's on that list, after weeding out modules (read the original wiki for more complete notes):

Membership types and registration modification
Project page looks ok. Anyone have any experience with it? Says it's difficult to set up (because of CCK/dependencies). Any tutorials for that? The readme looks complete enough if not. - Aaron

Druplet
Looks like a decent module. Anyone have experience with it? Should we feature it? Says it's in development, but it works. Only for developers, so may be of limited interest, but looks useful in certain cases.

curvyCorners
Nice eye-candy module. Anyone have experience with it?

RSS Remote Enclosure
Looks good. Don't see any problems with this module. Am not yet familiar with it, though I plan to check it out.

WebFM Images
I'm not familiar with this, though it looks intriguing. I'd rather see a write up on WebFM first though, or in conjunction, as there are probably other users not familiar with the modules.

Workflow-ng
I vaguely remember trying this earlier, and was impressed. I'd be concerned about switching over from workflow, although maybe fago has already thought of and planned for that. Probably good for a write up.

Ohloh
Fun. Keep track of your score...

Block Assign
Looks interesting. There's also moshe's http://drupal.org/project/bpv project, though it looks like there's an issue to combine the two? http://drupal.org/node/205337

Image Gallery Access
Clean issue queue. Looks ok to me. Not familiar with it.

JSON Server - Services Backend
Looks good, though would be over the heads of most readers. Would need a write up that's a little better than what's on the project page, explaining why someone would even want this module.

Top Node
Looks like a good module. Does it play nice with node queue too?

Embedded Media Field
I intend to write a larger piece for this, maybe for the february newsletter.

Views Slideshow
Handy little module to turn any node content into views, not just images. Uses jquery. I'll write up a quick description.

Please comment.

Thanks,
Aaron
