Is it necessary to have CCK module enabled to work with views2. What if I want to add an option in the default list of fields,arguments,filter how should i go about it ???

Before one tries to solve a problem, it would be interesting to prove or provide evidence that it exists. As a module maintainer, I think REALLY HARD before considering creating a new module on CVS, because I know what maintaining a module entails, and I've already worked hard to try and get others involved in my own issue queue. I lean towards looking for duplicate modules cause I want to pair up with people to lessen my own workload. If I post a module, I've already tried to find another module that does something similar, and when possible have tried to float patches against that module to get it to do what I want it to do. Because I KNOW my time is limited. I don't think that I'm alone here.
Anecdotes don't count here. If we've got 5000+ modules, how many of these are duplicates posted by maintainers of other modules. My bet is the number is really low, and not worth investing a ton of time in.
Show me da numbers.... :)

I suddenly got this (perhaps silly) idea of only allowing a CVS owner to create one project and require approval by posting to the DEV list when wishing to create another project rather than making this open for all CVS owners. This would definitely help with the repetition problem and module boom.
Posting to the DEV list should at least give other module developers and people interested the opportunity to object to, agree or suggest alternatives to the proposed module rather than suddenly finding a useless/repetitive module springing up here and there because the developer didn't know another one existed.
Suggestions? Flames? Thoughts?

Again, how can one person know that one line is useful to the entire community if other people don't speak up about it? It requires the community to be involved in the process and not reacting to just when there are problems.
Right, then if one person isn't qualified to know whether it would be useful to the community, let the community decide by downloading it or not.

I'm thinking of creating a very simple module. All it would do is install a particular vocabulary on your site which has about 50 terms (I'll give the specific example further below).
It strikes me that this would be much better suited as an install profile which would set this up, along with other common modules and data used by synagogues. It might be worth reaching out to them, finding some other common features which you need for your site, and starting from there instead.
Or, if taxonomy import is all you need, see about a generic taxonomy import / export solution, and providing a dataset for that somewhere.

I think the last answer here is key. Modules that provide *functionality* that is useful only to a small subset of users are fine. There's a LOT of those around. :-) However, modules that exist only as a glorified data dump really should not, IMO, be modules to begin with. They should be handled in some more elegant data-dump-centric way. If such a way doesn't exist, that sounds like a perfectly good excuse to build one.

I was thinking along those same lines... Like a site where people could contribute and collaborate on open-source taxonomies, with widgets built in like, "export to Drupal", "export to Plone", "export to CSV".
And it would be cool if the export to Drupal choice created a zip with a fully formed, dynamically generated module. Installing a module is much less threatening to people than running a code snippet throgh Devel's drupal_execute utility. And with D7 all the more so.
Anybody know of an open source taxonomy repository kind of site.

It got renamed. The new docs (I don't think they're set in stone yet, but I just got here) are:
http://groups.google.com/group/php-standards/web/php-coding-standard http://groups.google.com/group/php-standards/web/psr-0-final-proposal
Feedback, I suppose, should get filtered through me and I'll try to summarize as well as I can. It's an open-read list, though, so anyone interested can browse the archives.

Thanks Larry,
I don't really like the java-style mapping from namespace to filename either. Would prefer to see that not happen at all.... wonder what the chances of that are....
ABSOLUTELY do not agree with treating the _ as a directory separator. Many languages do NOT do this (FLEX, etc). Would really be a pain in moving drupal in any OO directions as well. The deep trees that are typical in java are not my friend. I'd like to be able to bundle things in flatter structures, if I can. The _ directory separator greatly impedes that effort.
I also don't really like the mandate of 1 class name per file name, but I'll probably get overruled on that one, too.
Thanks for taking up the cause!

Shai, have you seen http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_xml? I haven't used it myself yet, but the module description says that it "makes it possible to import and export vocabularies and taxonomy terms via XML, CSV, RDF and other formats". Sounds like the module you need.
