Songbird website running Drupal
by Anders 09 Feb '06

09 Feb '06

Looks like the slashdotted website of Songbird (http://www.songbirdnest.com/) the new open-source media player based on Firefox, is running Drupal. They've put up a new server at http://69.90.210.150/ and it's definitely Drupal under the hood. Most visiters ever on the same time on a Drupal site (boingboing, digg, slashdot...)? Might be interesting if they could shared some statistics with the community... /Anders

However, it is a 4.7 function, and I'm doing this work in 4.6. I probably should have mentioned that, since I suspect your ESP, like mine, is on the fritz. I did look for it or something similar in the 4.6 apis, but found nothing that looked like it. > You might want to ask these questions on the dev list :) > > -K -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadae.net/ Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 13; Cramer, 11; Travis, 9; Angela; Harry, 5; and William, 12:04 am, 12-29-2005) Linux User: http://www.sourcemage.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/

It's automated.... after being fixed for a few days, it is closed. This lets poeple find them and see what happened while it's fresh and get it out of the way when it's closed. ________________________________ From: development-bounces(a)drupal.org on behalf of Karthik Sent: Fri 1/20/2006 12:39 AM To: development(a)drupal.org Subject: [development] Issue status I've noticed that a number of issues are being changed from "fixed" status to "closed" status by (an) Anonymous User(s). E.g. http://drupal.org/node/43498 Is this automated? Recommended procedure? or something else? Cheers -K

Re: [development] Session timeout module

Hi, Ahmad, My coding skills aren't that good, so I won't add anything ;-) But I will wait for your addition of my suggestion before implementing it :-) Regards, Kobus >>> ahmad(a)hitech-iraq.com 2/7/2006 2:51:17 PM >>> Hi Kobus, Thanks for your feedback, I welcome any suggestions about the module.

A change in documentation coordinator: Steven Peck
by Charlie Lowe 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

It is with regret that I have to take a leave of absence from drupal.org for the next few months. Thus, Steven Peck will be taking over as the Drupal Documentation Coordinator. As most people know, Steven has demonstrated dedication to the user experience by constantly providing assistance in the drupal.org forums. He has been instrumental in refining the Drupal handbooks, such as his recent (in progress) reorganization of the Drupal handbooks to better support user needs. As a champion of the user experience, I know that that Steven will provide excellent leadership for community efforts to continue to improve Drupal documentation. So everyone, please join with me in thanking Steven for taking on this role and offer your support. Thanks, Steven! Charlie Lowe
