I've put together some last minute 6.x search patches (code freeze -10). I
think that I have a much faster core search, but we really need some
independent review, access to test data, and some questions
answered/confirmed. Please see http://drupal.org/node/145560. Wouldn't it
be great if the 6.x search was 5 times faster?
If you're interested in search in general and want to help with all the
pending search patches, please visit the new g.d.o search working group at
http://groups.drupal.org/node/4102.
Thanks!

Changing the world one node at a time!
Hello,
I cannot find in the handbook a tutorial on the proper way to cache data.
A function (http://drupal.org/node/144969) is calculating the values in a
large array, and I want to serialize the result to be able to cache it on the
database. This way, the array can be made static between requests, for better
performance.
What would be the way to go about it?
Which {cache_*} table to use, what value to use for cid, etc?
How often or in what conditions are each of the cache tables emptied?
Is any of the above already documented somewhere?
Thanks,
Augustin.

i've been thinking about our settings and variable_get()/set() a lot
recently. i was hit by inspiration earlier tonight:
http://drupal.org/node/145164
it'll take quite a bit of effort to get it into D6 before the freeze
(probabl more than i can handle myself, especially since i'm also
working on moving update_status.module into D6 core, too). please
comment in the issue:

A user just asked me how to set a module's priority. Rather than
walking them through the steps, I've decided to write a module. Has
anyone worked on something similar?
This patch implements and uses Schema API 1. It comes from
http://drupal.org/node/136171 and is the combined effort of myself,
frando, yched, nedjo, and others.
The Schema API replaces calls to CREATE TABLE and related statements
with a schema data structure and API functions.

Hi,
Seems like a status report is in order, so people know what is in, and
what needs to be looked at still. There are only two weeks left until
code freeze, so those who think language support in Drupal 6 is
important would be welcome to come out with their reviewer hats.
What is in Drupal 6 for multilanguage support:
- "locales" are replaced by "languages" (we know a lot more about
languages: their native names, direction (RTL or LTR), languages
can be weighted, we use the new BCP 47 language codes, etc)
- language based paths and domains are supported
- automatic language detection based on browser settings is supported
- nodes can have a language associated
- the locale tables are capable of storing translations for user
defined strings (BUT this is not possible yet, read on!)
The two most important things that should be done, with patches for you
to review:
- translation of site settings, content types, user profile fields
and so on by storing translations of their string properties with
the locale infrastructure, enabling import/export and simple editing:
http://drupal.org/node/141461 (also watch this video:
http://hojtsy.hu/drop/dtvideo.mpeg )
- translation support for nodes by relating nodes together
(and possibly their revisions): http://drupal.org/node/142280
We have other smaller issues lingering, but these two are the ones we
can't manage without your valuable input and review! Unless we get
reviews on these issues and we can manage to get a polished version of
these into Drupal 6, it will not be the multilanguage release many
people hope it to be. It would be sad to miss this opportunity for world
domination.

Is there any chance of Open ID getting into Drupal 6? The issue for this
seems to be here:
http://drupal.org/node/131026
The last patch is from March and no core committer has commented on it.
This is supposed to be one of the killer features for Drupal 6, and it
is the right thing to do. What can we do to raise awareness of the issue
and build some momentum behind it?

[Since this is a repost, gotta make it interesting: Thunderbird tells me
that committer is misspelled, so I went to www.thefreedictionary.com to
check, and found this:
Com`mit´ter
*n.* *1.* One who commits; one who does or perpetrates.
*2.* A fornicator.

Netvibes is interested in providing a drupal universe at
www.netvibes.com/drupal. I put together an initial universe based on
some feedback I previously got from the list. It should be complete
by the end of this week. Is there a place in the community we can
advertise this?
Initially the universe consists of 2 pages being a general and a
developer page. The general page has on it the drupal planet, drupal
pics on flickr, drupal.org rss feed, drupal groups homepage feed,
drupal events from groups.drupal.org as a webcal, drupal on
del.icio.us, the lullabot podcast, drupal general discussion, drupal
showcase, and drupal new modules.
On the developer page there are feeds for the drupal dojo, lullabot
articles, drupal translations forum, drupal core forum, drupal module
development forum, drupal theme development forum, drupaldigest CVS
mailing list, drupaldigest documentation list, drupaldigest
development list, and a block with quick links for developers.
Is there anything else that would be good to have?
