modules

Here is the current state of affairs: there are two modules (created by Khalid Baheyeldin) that deal with the stock market: stock and stockapi. The first one deals with displaying stock pricing information in both a page format and in a block format. The second one is an API that the first one uses to get the stock information. The API uses Yahoo! Finance as it's source of stock information.

I'm thinking about a database which is storing:
- Project name
- Download file
- Module name
- Date
- MD5 and SHA1
- Module description
- Drupal Version
- README.TXT or INSTALL.TXT
and programming an interface (module) to check these against your own installation.

What I need is to download all "[PROJECT].tar.gz" files and import these into a database. This was the easy job (simple devel example).
Currently this is done with a CCK designed table, but I will switch to an own node-type cause of some CCK restrictions (e.g. search).

the next two steps are writing:

at http://drupal.org/node/72735, I would like to have a staging like:
- core (the framework)
- contribute (which is the new one)
- user contribute
- cvs
- sandbox

The contributed-modules should be well reviewed and choosen. Collecting installation-information through the drupal.module would be helpfull, but cause it "also enables users to log in using a Drupal ID" it's often disabled. By default it's disabled, so the data is not representive.

Are there other users feeling like me? Any developers want to help?

Bem... ontem enquanto tomava banho, tive a idéia de criar um módulo que colocasse um post-it na tela. Hoje assim que cheguei ao trabalho, pesquisei se já existia e não encontrei.

Para aguçar as idéias de todos, vou tentar falar o que eu penso em fazer neste projeto.

Todo postit estará ligado a uma página com informações mais detalhadas... ou seja, ele vai criar um conteudo (node) onde especificará o título, Texto do Postit, Data de Inicio, Data de Termino e Texto detalhado.

Os postits só aparecerão nas telas definidas no 'admin/settings/postit' (da mesma forma que funciona os blocks)... também definiremos a posição dos postits (top e left).

e ae??? o que acham? util? inutil? alguma crítica?

Fico no aguardo!

Um abração,

After a complete rewrite and countless sleepless nights, the playlist module (toolkit, module) is now available for 4.7! Needs testing though :)

Features:
1) iTunes podcast/xspf/m3u/pls feeds generated on the fly, with full metadata support
2) album artwork can now be integrated (through URL)
3) xspf flash players for each feed, including popup players for each
4) audio browser, similar to iTunes, used to search audio tags and find the audio to add to playlists
5) upload new audio files to playlists on the fly with an inline uploader
6) listening station: an xspf flash player block that has a dropdown select to listen to different playlists on the site

This is a cross-post from the development list. Share your own list of install profiles and/or modules you can't live without.
