All New CSS coding standards up for discussion!
Over 4 years ago, Alan Burke noticed that Drupal didn't have any CSS coding standards. He asked the documentation team lead at the time, Addison Berry, for advice and she suggested that if they wrote the first draft of the CSS coding standards, that would get the ball rolling on discussing them. The goal being to write, iterate and come to consensus on Drupal’s coding standards. See http://groups.drupal.org/node/14421 for the original discussion.
Unfortunately, its 4 years later and the CSS coding standards are still marked “Draft”. http://drupal.org/node/302199

This might be of interest to you.
Of course there's a Drupal module to be made. This will void most of the issues around CSS and JS aggregation. Making it simpler and more
efficient. Nothing beats C for speed and efficiency.
The module should work also with modconcat, that is, if you're still using that type of legacy web server technology ;)
Read moreDomain Access and RSS feeds -- per site and combined
I am looking at creating several mostly-unrelated sites using Domain Access. (The reason to use DA rather than core multisite is mainly to minimize admin overhead.)
I would like each site to have a separate feed. I'd also like to have a combined feed from all the sites, displayed as a block on each site.
Is this something I can do with DA?
I am using FeedBurner. Does that add any problems/complexity?
Read moreSwitching from FeedAPI to Feeds
Feeds has been in the works since DrupalCon Paris now. With the launch of Managing News it is finally ready to replace FeedAPI/Feed Element Mapper. I have just posted on our blog about the reasons behind refactoring and relaunching FeedAPI as Feeds: Good bye FeedAPI, hello Feeds!

Hallo, liebe Gemeinschaft,
Read moreIMC related documentation and wishlist
So I agree for the most part with the idea that we don't necessarily need an install profile so much as a bunch of documentation on how to set-up a Drupal based IMC.
I'm not sure if this would be super helpful for the IMC's that have next to no tech related help, but at least if we had a set of default procedures and workflows we could utilize this in order to set-up a site for them without having to spend a lot of time deliberating over the best way to do something within drupal.
Read moreStyling and Theming Aggregated Feeds
I'm working on a project that involves refactoring a content site while upgrading from Drupal 4.x to 5.x. One of the pieces I thought would be somewhat easy—displaying recent posts from blog feeds—has turned into a roadblock.
The desired outcome is to have the latest post from each of several external (i.e., non-Drupal) blogs show up such that the title of the blog links to the blog and the title of the post links to the post.
Let me describe where we started, what we tried, and where we wound up.
