there are two existing modules I'd like to see added to Drupal 6:
1. OpenID 2. Actions
this is great! glad to hear it -- i'm sure both will be excellent additions to core. however, you forgot the one me and merlin have been working towards: update_status.module. ;) (true, the plan is it'll just go into system.module, not be a new stand-alone module)... just warning the rest of the development team that this, too, is slated for D6 core if we can finish in time. however, with merlin v2.0 about to be (already?) released, it's going to be falling almost entirely on to my shoulders unless some other folks can help. in particular: http://drupal.org/node/136172 which is what's blocking: http://drupal.org/node/128827 http://drupal.org/node/125742 both of which should ideally be done before this turns into a patch against system.module. there's an extensive roadmap of what needs to happen in #136172, and it certainly can be split up if anyone else wants to help. so, (familiar scene) dww comes pleading for help... ;) please reply to #136172 with your intention (if any) to help, and we can sort out the details. thanks! -derek p.s. anyone with sponsorship money lying around that would love drupal core to be able to tell you when your site is out of date or running a known-to-be-insecure release; and/or would love it if drupal.org could accurately tell us how many sites (that volunteer to share anonymously) are running any given module, theme, translation, etc; should contact me about funding this to ensure it ends up in D6, not D7... ;)
