Hello, To my opinion, the imminent release of the 7 core might better be delayed. Untill today, many mods for 5 and even 4, are not available for the 6 version. And there are several mods that are neccesary on some websites, so in some cases one better doesn't migrate to 6 (or even not from 5 in fewer cases). Do I propose waiting untill maybe all the mods are available for 6? No; that would not change anything to the fact, that it will take many years before almost all interesting mods are programmed for core 7. What I propose is a bridge, cloud, integration of TWO cores; the 6 and 7 core: Two installations (might be on another server too). Waste of time that better can be used programming core 7 mods...? Maybe, but that bridge_cloud could serve also for 7 to the future 8, bridging and clouding the same Drupal versions, Mediawiki and many other programs. Especially when its written like: 1) a very broad multifunctional adapter, 2) with additional the 6 to 7 bridge 3) and many other specific bridges to make for other programs. I'm not a programmer except for a blue monday and not familiar with internal details of how Drupal works. So there probably are many hughe problems to resolve to get something like this done. But: 1) a General Bridge-Cloud-Adapter for core 7? 2) then a 6_to_7_Bridge working with GBCA? 3) then other bridges working with GBCA, like Mediawiki, etc.? If this is practically possible, my opinion is that first the core 7 software should be revised thoroughly to make this core perfect for such external connections/communications/integration... Related question: Doesn't there exist a uniform protocol how different programs can integrate? If so; the core better should already be build according to these characteristics. If not, maybe some developers can form a broad based group to get such a protocol into practice? Thanks, Ad
