Hi, as the author of Acidfree, I have gotten lots of praise for creating an image/video system that is easy for people to use. Granted at first it was not perfect, but it has made great advances and gained quite a following in the year. But I have also gotten a lot of flak from people saying that it wasn't done in the true spirit of Drupal. The praise came from users, the flak came from developers. Now that I have worked with the Drupal community for a year, I have realized that my approach was *not* fully in spirit with Drupal. Really, I probably should have stuck my head in a cold bucket and listened to Gerhard, Boris, and Dries and tried to work with other module authors. Acidfree is an awesome application -- it is simple to use (very usable UI), easy to theme, and has an appropriate feature set. But it still bugs me that I didn't quite do it right. So here is my first stab at repentance. But I have a question. I think I can do now what I should have done a year ago (but was unable to because of pride and lacking APIs). I have made a list of things that Acidfree does for me and have found that I can accomplish nearly all of the things I want to with new advances in APIs and a study of other modules that are available. I think by using Image, Video, Taxonomy, Views, and use of the form API, I could turn Acidfree into a management module and let the other node module take care of themselves. I guess the question is: should make a new module or just change Acidfree (by providing an upgrade path)? If I do this, I don't really want to have to manage Acidfree and this new module, plus, I really think the name is great. My opinion is that I should release a 4.8 version of Acidfree that defines 0 node types and simply works with the appropriate node types to offer a unified management interface. But I worry about all the users I have attracted. Maybe I should target 4.9 (or whatever 2 releases from now is) and say that Acidfree will be obsolete in that release and create a new module called something else. But I don't really want to pollute the module space. I remember a while back that the fact that Drupal does not really have a unified way of dealing with multimedia was a big deal. Are people still interested in this? Or should I just crawl back in my cave and continue plugging away at Acidfree? --Vernon
