Here's the problem. We are creating yet another 'voluntary' procedure that new people will not know about, old time contributors who aren't paying attention to list right now won't know about and I suspect will be abandoned and unmaintained like many similar such initiatives in the past. About the only real solution is to have several people who are familiar with the existing modules review the ideas and point to existing modules. Of course this would really have to be a group of people that aren't doing stuff now. They would have to build the proceedures and habits into the community to make it really last beyond this current surge of interest. -sp On 8/7/07, Augustin (Beginner) <drupal.beginner@wechange.org> wrote:

It doesn't seem to help, though, since just today I saw a new module[1] cross the wire that is a duplicate of one I submitted a few months ago[2].

I actually win this one with 11 months: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/input_format _r estrictions/
Hm, touche. I don't see it in the project list[1], though.
And here is a fourth one: http://drupal.org/project/filter_default
4 modules to have different default input format by role AND/OR by node types, one of which has never been published on d.o. (and never tagged for any particular core branch).
You might want to get in touch with the maintainer of the fourth module, decide on which of the 4 projects becomes the semi-official one, and abandon the other three...
