porting

Drupal 8 will release around august 2013. When People will use, they will need their famous Contrib modules. So we should prepare for that. So The Porting of top used contrib modules can a project of GSoC 2012. This will help community and also help student to understand drupal better. Top Contrib projects is written with best drupal practice, So that will help lot more.
This was done before to make drupal 7 better. http://drupalcontribstatus.com is used to watch closer look at top project that mostly used.

Hi All,

I have a test bed site http://www.drupalsorcery.com/drupalblog where I load drupal 6.x ports of themes.

There are a few now:
ChristmasDays [ex WordPress]
Terrafirma [ex Nodethreethirty - css]
Envision12 [ex CSS template]
TheHobbitt [ex WordPress - under construction]

Changing the theme is quite easy, use the drop down box and choose the theme to view.

My post is two-fold:
Comments on the themes, if I may ask that people comment on the ports and add any feedback, opinions and criticisms.

Overview: 

Implement the necessary CCK fields and views to be able to initiate the porting of the Biblio module.

Description:

Node_media is intended to be successor of node_images. Currently is in his very early stages of development and I want to contribute conducting efforts in right direction.

Based on previous lines, this project should achieve 2 goals:

1. Stabilize current node_media to at least Release candidate for D5 and then start porting it
2. Conduct candidate new features of node_images to node_media 2.0 (i.e.: thickbox, internatinalization, ...)

Hi all,

I am not sure how much time Eaton is able to put into this.

I am not even sure how I can contribute back the code back to the community after/during the porting changes (not even sure, if I am capable).

But as a strat, I have started a Webcomic Module 4.7 to 5 Porting Wiki Page to track this.

Any comments/suggestions are welcome.

One fast way to boost Drupal's analysis tools will be to port other open source packages to Drupal.

I've ported much of the JavaScript reporting from PHPMyvisites, and I am interested to know what other open source analytics systems people have used, what they like about them, what they hate, and what we should bring to drupal.

I am especially interested in displaying information: graphs, charts, etc. Any good packages out there?
