You could always build it out as a contrib module, though. It sounds pretty useful.<br clear="all">-----<br>Cameron Eagans<br>Owner, Black Storms Studios, LLC<br><a href="http://www.blackstormsstudios.com">http://www.blackstormsstudios.com</a><br>

</div></div>Yes this is true. Once a Drupal version is released it accepts only bug and<br>
security fixes while new features are added to the next major version. Drupal<br>
6 is the current stable release and therefore is not taking new features.<br>
<br>
Drupal 7 actually just went into feature freeze this month, so is not taking<br>
new features either while we focus on performance optimization, bug fixes, and<br>
UX improvements until it is released, *probably* sometime early next year but<br>
that depends on how good a job of we do of tracking down and squishing bugs.<br>
(Help is always appreciated!) Once Drupal 7 is released, it will be the<br>
stable version and not accept anything but bug and security fixes while<br>
development begins on Drupal 8, which will accept all kinds of wacky new stuff<br>
during its development cycle until its feature freeze, and the cycle repeats.<br>
