Proposition :

Bonsoir, les Drupalers,
Je vous proposes les ami(e)s d'organiser prochainement (Inch'ALLALH) une série de rencontre avec une fréquence régulière ( qui arrange la majorité d'entre nous, bien sûr) . Les objectifs de ces rencontres seront :
-Développer nos compétences en Drupal
-Promouvoir Drupal au Maroc
-Elargir notre communauté
-Networking
-Travail/Apprentissage en groupe
-... ()

Who:
My name is Gabriel Massaki and I am studying Computer Science at the University of Campinas (Brazil).
My e-mail is "gabrielmwb at gmail.com" and my nickname on IRC "Gabriel_Massaki".

I live in Brazil, so it'll be "Winter of Code" for me, I study at night so during the day I will have time to work on the project.

Have you contributed to a open source project before?
No, but I always wanted to contribute, because I like the philosophy of open source projects.

Why do you want to do a project involving Drupal?

At the Drupal NYC Meetup on March 10th we discussed ways to ensure that life is more bearable for the designer/developer from the start of a project.

I am experimenting with abstracting the complex nested arrays that populate the definition of Drupal modules as separate resource files in YAML.

Example YAML for a menu: a separate file:

[module_dir]/resources/menu.yml

admin/game:
path: admin/game
title: game
page callback: game_admin
access arguments: [access administration pages]
type:
function: constant
arguments: [MENU_NORMAL_ITEM]

admin/game/add:
path: admin/game/add
title: Add Task
page callback: game_admin_add

One part of my GSoC is to add support (of some sort) to VersionControl API for having multiple branches within a project (like a drupal.org project) with different user permissions. The idea is to allow a more DVCS-like workflow, where people can work independently on their own branch and then request an admin user to pull their changes into the master repository. I won't be starting this for a few weeks, but I wanted to get a discussion going about what it should look like.

Overview: An automatic invitation module is very important for websites looking to expand their user base. This project will help develop the right interface to achieve such a goal.

Description: To develop a powerful front end and back end panel comprising of the following main features :

1. The users can import their entire address books from famous mail providers like GMail, Yahoo, AOL, etc. forming the initial part of the module.

2. They can invite their friends to the website by sending them a custom or a user generated message.

Overview: This project aims to provide an easy mean for site developers to create custom parametric search forms and result pages for different content types, much like those of e-commerce sites. The current idea is to create a module for creating search UI depending on CKK and Views. This module will provide flexibility for combining search parameters (operations, priorities, dependences, etc.) and customizability in the look of both search forms and result pages.

Description:

Hey drupalers,

I would like to propose a new feature for the redesign of the d.o forum.
Wouldn't it be nice if the author of a forum topic can give the topic a resolved or closed status?
This way it's easier to see what topics need more help.
A proposal for some topic statuses:
- open
- closed (resolved)
- closed (unsolved) -> when a topic is open and has not been replied within a month for example or if the author sets it t manually to unsolved.

Maybe you know experts-exchange.com? This is a commercial forum that also works with open and closed questions.

Here's the lowdown on a project some of us have been kicking around as a potential 'code sprint' and/or community coding effort.

Dimdim (http://www.dimdim.com/) is a free web conferencing service where you can share your desktop, show slides, collaborate, chat, talk and broadcast via webcam with absolutely no download required for attendees.

Hi All,

Just after being denied for the proposal of a new Group entry entitled "Documentation Task Force" i was referred
that here is the best place for my efforts:

For those of the Group who does not know my person and motivations, i will suggest to read some posting I already
have contributed on drupal.org to focus on the big problem to get oriented in the Drupal.org ---- DRUPAL HANDBOOKS.

1. Is there a task force that is dedicate to correct or complete ...
