ELMS now organic groups based (new distro released)
An Alpha 2 distribution of ELMS was released today. The most notable feature is that it's completely different in every way. No but seriously, it's no longer dependent on a multi-site architecture and instead is now running off of Organic groups.
In plain english -- It's really easy to install now.
Read moreBook Usability Overhaul (demo / Screencast)
I've been working on a project to make the structuring of content easier / more intuitive. The module was called the Outline Designer and now there's a Drupal 6 version out now. Please check out the demo below and let me know what you think. It implements a bunch of usability things I've been seeing thrown around on here as well as introduces some new concepts (like a context menu). It integrates / overrides the admin/content/book interface to add ajax elements such as deletion, add a child, content editing, and renaming.

Read moreOutline Designer / Improved node creation work flow / interface
I'm currently working on a project called "outline designer" for release into the Drupal community (5.x branch, out in the next few days as I'm cleaning up the initial release as we speak). What the outline designer does currently:
*Structure nodes in a book visually via drag and drop
*Right click to create, edit, delete, rename, duplicate any node of any allowed type
*Right click to change content type
*Everything is Ajax saved using standardized Drupal node_save architecture
*Ability to enable / disable the ability to create different content types
