If you say the next release is 4.8 and change your mind because a lot more features made it since then, then you will impact a lot of places for that (documentation, issues, ...etc.) The purpose of the name is not to be cute or quirky, but rather totally meaningless and does not imply anything. Just a unique label from a large namespace. If anything, I am against any entertainment value in code names.

It's been named 5.0 for a while and is far from released. I'm not a dev, so maybe I'm off base here, but I don't see a big need to have a definite name before the code freeze... Michelle

Dubta Drupalero.. si!
by Joan Martínez Serres 19 Sep '06

Hola. M'estic tornant mico amb una "tonteria" a Drupal. Dins una secció (taxonomia) tinc un bon número de nodes. Però els vull ordenar a la meva manera i aquesta manera es molt subtil, no vull que apareguin amb l'ordre de publicació ni alfabeticament. He estat jugant amb la opció de "pegagoso en la parte superior" però res, no hi ha manera de dir-li un ordre "no lògic" al llistat de nodes. Alguna idea? Gracies compis. -- ********************************************************* Joan Martínez Serres mailto:joan@linuxbcn.com http://www.linuxbcn.com http://www.macbcn.com <-- NOU!! http://www.malditasmaquinas.com http://linuxbcn.org http://linuxbcn.homeip.net Tel: +34 687 83 6757 Jabber: linuxbcn(a)bulmalug.net gTalk: linuxbcn(a)gmail.com MNS: linuxbcn(a)hotmail.com Linux user #278571 (http://counter.li.org/) Clau OpenPGP http://www.linuxbcn.com/joan/pub_key.asc Powered by: GNU/Linux Debian Sarge (Kernel Linux amd64 2.6.8-2-386) *********************************************************

re: [development] My site is under attack (trackbacks, spam and cpu usage).
by Peter Wolanin 18 Sep '06

When we initially converted our site to Drupal, we were getting lots of spider hits on old URLs, and I put into our .htaccess rewrite rules based on http://drupal.org/node/53523 These redirect to "GONE", rather than using "access denied". Maybe not any more helpful for a spambot, but any legit bot should get the hint. example: #some rules to block requests for old pages from search engines RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule .*\.htm$ - [G,L] I also like the idea of redirecting to the loopback address- does that really work? -Peter Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 11:14:49 +0800 From: "Augustin (Beginner)" <drupal.beginner(a)wechange.org> Subject: [development] My site is under attack (trackbacks, spam and cpu usage). To: development(a)drupal.org Message-ID: <200609181114.49182.drupal.beginner(a)wechange.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello, I am curious: is anyone using the trackback.module and allowing incoming trackbacks? Spammers have a vicious script designed for Drupal, that submits spam trackbacks in a loop, every few minutes, 24/24h.

Since I recently added a module and didn't realize the initial commit message had special significance, I'll invite you to look at: http://drupal.org/project/volunteer_timeslots This module utilizes the event module and defines a new node type representing an event where site users can volunteer for a specific time period. I am starting to use it initially to organize volunteers for a table to do voter registration and distribute literature for Democratic candidates. This in not meant to be as full featured as the volunteer module (which seems not yet to be released for 4.7 and which requires CiviCRM), but I hope will fill an intermediate need in political/NGO organizing. -Peter >Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2006 10:10:17 -0400 >From: Syscrusher <syscrusher(a)4th.com> >Subject: [development] Suggestion for people releasing new modules and themes into CVS >Message-ID: <200609131010.17673.syscrusher(a)4th.com> > ... >Alternatively, a note posted to the Development list would be fine, too.
