</div>And how much of that code have you released into the wild? It strikes<br>
me that your problem may be, well, your problem. It's not up to me to<br>
release your code and I can't force you to actually take an active<br>
part in the community.<br>
<br>
Start generalizing/releasing your code, and maybe you won't have as many issues.<br>

<br>I can see why you would want to do it that way, but I don't think you should judge others who choose not to. <br><br>For example, a client came to me and wanted view data in a way that wasn't right for Views. I just added it to my custom module and it did exactly what that client wanted. And it was done the Drupal way. It took me a couple of hours. I guess I could have built a new Views module -- that no one else would have ever used -- and charged 10 times as much. <br>
