And on an entirely different topic, I've a question for the other contrib maintainers out there.

With Drupal 5 out, most modules are or will be upgraded to it. Drupal 4.7 itself is in maintenance mode. What about contribs for it?

If you maintain a contrib module, will you be providing just bug fixes for the 4.7 version after your 5 version is released? Will you maintain feature development on both? If so, for how long?

You set your own rules. Maintaining just 5 is fine. What if a lot of people want stuff added to 4.7? Ask for a maintainer for the 4.7 branch, just like Drupal. -- Boris Mann Vancouver 778-896-2747 San Francisco 415-367-3595 Skype borismann http://www.bryght.com
