Interest in TinyMCE Lesson?
Anyone who has been following the TinyMCE saga knows that the module has emerged from its dark days and is once again stable with all the 4.7 features included. The Moxicode 2.1 release solved several issues for Drupal users. Nedjo banged out some great patches to re-restore customizations to TinyMCE beyond what the GUI button picker allows, but it looks like the only way to get the form based customizations (vs. modifying the actual .js theme files) to work with modules that enable additional textareas like Nodeteaser is to use JQuery... which many developers prefer anyway.

Contests for Dojo teachers
Here is my idea for have contests between dojo teachers.
We could have a tournament, where the teachers move up.
Discussing Growth: DrupalDojo.com/net/org?
UPDATE: I made a mistake and had comments turned off. Please comment on this! I want your feedback and discussion!
In just six weeks, this group has really taken off, and I have been extremely pleased and excited by the response from the community, and by people's willingness to jump in and help out.
I think we're doing a lot of valuable work. We've got an excellent core group and a process for having "lesson" events that seems to really provide value, especially given the excellent work that so many of you have done to create screencasts and written documentation after the fact. So thank you all once again for your participation.
The topic of the day is growing pains. There was much discussion of this in Sunday's CoffeeTalk discussion, which I was thrilled to see take on a life of its own without my participation.
There are several points I would like to cover, not least of which is what (if anything) to do with the domains drupaldojo.com, and .org, which Squidster took the initiative to acquire, and .net which is owned by Senpai. Read on for my thoughts on this, including a pretty graph!

Could the Dojo work on/learn about the Services module?
Per snelson's (creator of these amazing sites) description of the Services module:
Another theming working group
The newly minted 'Zen Task Force' may provide some great project orientated learning opportunities in realm of theming. Seems like it would tie in quite nicely as an extension to the great Dojo theming lesson as well as our work on Merlin's 'Themer Pack Project'?

How to Succesfully Incorporate Eclipse IDE into a Drupal Workflow
I have successfully set up Eclipse IDE with the the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) and PHPeclipse. I have also followed the guides at http://dev.civicactions.net and the guide aimed at how to Configure Eclipse to use Drupal Coding Standards. Everything is running fine and I am using the new environment on my current project. But now what do I do?
Read moreInstall profile/distribution dojo
With 'Drupal' support for installation profiles eminent (full-on distributions to follow), I'm thinking it will provide a rich platform for collaboratively building (real sites), learning, and giving back to Drupal.
Based on some of the recent conversations on the irc and in this forum, I just wanted to throw out some random ideas. It's a wiki, so with your help, we can make it sound logical...

EC maintainer seeks: non-smoker, likes bushwalking and ...
Hi there
I'm trying to locate developers (any skill level is ok) who have the same E-Commerce focus that I do. The idea is that I am available for feedback, reviews, advice, escalation, and even tuition. Yes, tuition, which means I'm happy for this to be a mentor arrangement (which is why I've posted to Dojo).
The problem with developing for E-Commerce is a) we are not giving out CVS access and b) patches in the queue can be painfully slow to commit. We already have 5 maintainers. So the challenge is to have patches committed promptly by one of the maintainers. I can do this, as long as the patches are for areas that I am familiar with.

the Drupal Dojo sounds great, and i'm happy to join the efforts (as both student and teacher, it's a whole spectrum, not a bit). anyone who wants to dive into Drupal development right now can help by mercilessly beating on http://scratch.drupal.org to test out the latest 5.x release candidate code, and submitting issues (with patches, if possible!) about any problems you find.
