2 main things are causing problems with the aggregation module: 1) I am not sure whether you will be maintaining it or it'll be dead after a while like the rest. 2) You are depending on php5. I'm still running 4 and not planning to move now. We really have a mess and I guess the only way to solve it is a core aggregator rework. I don't have much time for that and I don't think I have much experience. What do you think ? On Mon, Apr 30, 2007 at 03:53:11AM +0300, Ashraf Amayreh wrote:
Post what it is you you think is lacking in the current aggregation modules and let's all collaborate. My aggregation module would welcome a patch anytime :-p

IMHO, we should make it compulsive that every module developer post to the mailing list before setting on a new module. This may prevent the catastrophe of so much repeated modules and repeated code. There's a point I want to say. Writing your own module/code is sometimes a lot easier than spending your time to understand the current code. I'm not sure what lead to having all those aggregator modules around. It even becomes worse when you find that most of them are either unmaintained, not working for you or your setup or not ported to the latest drupal. Then you end up writing your own. I had this problem with the stock aggregator module bringing my server to its knees. No time to push changes to core aggregator. The solution ? I have my own 100th aggregator module (Yes, I'm serious) and I'm thinking about releasing it since I know I'll maintain it and keep it up to date. I guess we need to work on the core one to fix it.
