Hello folks, Google SoC 2006 is over. Now i am thinking of what more i can do : my main intention is to do somthing that can be used widely by the general users. Wiki module stands out in this respect. Also there is need for token-based authentication and Flickr API, but it seems to me that wiki module has more general need. Check out the links to the initial proposed projects for this SoC and also the ones that were chosen : http://drupal.org/node/59958 => Proposed projects http://drupal.org/node/65244 => 2006 Summer of Code Projects (14) For the wiki module: is anyone actively working on it? or are there any plans for it? chx told me that there could be some work on that module in the Brussels meet. -- Thanks =Code is Poetry= Sumit Datta brainless

I've been toying with working on some Flickr code but HEAD has kept me pretty busy. Of the ~5 Flickr modules only one seems to do much of use. I started doing some clean up and then decided that a rewrite would be the way to go. I've already written one Flickr library ( http://phlickr.sf.net ) but it was PHP5 only so it could make use of the SimpleXML extension. Drupal's built-in XML-RPC client would make doing it PHP4 sane. If anyone else is interested in working on this drop me an email. I'll probalby start some sandbox code and then see if we can talk one of the existing Flickr project maintainers to let us take over their project. andrew

For the wiki module: is anyone actively working on it? or are there any plans for it? chx told me that there could be some work on that module in the Brussels meet.
you are welcome and encouraged to look at existing wiki modules (especially liquid wiki) and then build a great one using code and ideas from each. use the wiki.module name. i own that project, and intend to commit somebody's efforts there. wiki success requires great atenntion to user experience in addition to sane code. if it sucks compared to dokuwiki and mediawiki, few will use ours. it has to be at least decent. in brussels we will talk about wiki but i doubt we have to build much. better to start now.

Andrew et al: Kitt Hodsden has some code squirreled away that implements the Flickr API including token-based auth -- that is, exposes Drupal images etc. And yes, there needs to be one solid Flickr module.

yes...much of the talk will be about specific details. For instance: should we suppress WYSIWYG editors for wiki content? The liquid wiki needs updating for 4.7...it was released compatible with a late RC of 4.7, and has one or two lines that need fixing. I don't see anything in any of the other wiki modules that is compelling. Moshe, do we want to start discussing this here or wait for Brussels :P ? -- Boris

no harm in discussing now. i'd love to hear people's visions for wiki in drupal
