It would be very helpful if module maintainers could soon start porting their modules to Drupal 6.
Agreed! To that end, now that the freeze is upon us, we really *must* make a final decision on my proposal for CVS branches: http://drupal.org/node/147493 The "DRUPAL-5" branch has been the source of much confusion in the contrib repo in terms of how it interacts with the release system. If you doubt this, I will get angry, since I've spent *dozens* of hours (re)explaining this to people via email, IRC and in the issue queues. I'm proposing we completely prevent anyone from creating a "DRUPAL-6" branch. Instead, when they're ready to branch their code for the 6.x-1.* series, they make a "DRUPAL-6--1" branch, just like they would make a "DRUPAL-6--2" branch for the 6.x-2.* series... This will help them remember that "DRUPAL-6--1" is only for 6.x-1.* code, and if they're doing something that's slated for a different series, it belongs in a different branch. Please comment in the issue: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/147493 Ultimately, this is "RTBC", namely, it needs Dries's final approval or rejection. ;)
Some big, important modules require multiple people to get this job done right (e.g. Views, CCK, ...). Let's help these maintainers.
/me whimpers in the corner, wondering if help will be forthcoming to port project*... ;) Cheers, -Derek
