new module notifications
Hello all, Excuse me if the functionality I'm asking about already exists, but is there a way to get notifications or updates of new modules? I was talking today with a friend and he was telling me about this new module, he said that it was just added yesterday. I thought it would have been great if I got some notification (mailing list? subscription? etc) With the explosive number of modules that encompass all functionality, I sometimes feel sorry when I develop something and find that some module had already implemented it. Searching is not always an answer too, as some modules are just glue and utility modules and won't usually be something you'd intuitively search for. Is there something like this in place? -- Ashraf Amayreh http://aamayreh.org

That's a great feed, but can be a little busy. There's also http://drupaldashboard.com/feeds/important-module-releases-drupal which shows both interesting new modules and major releases from existing modules. Example items are in http://drupaldashboard.com/feed-item/43 This is a manually moderated list. If anyone wants to help manually moderating, let me know. There's also http://drupalmodules.com/new-modules which is an automated feed based on the drupal.org feed but it also checks to make sure that there is actually some code associated with the new module before adding it to the feed. This has benefits and drawbacks (you only see "real" projects but may miss something really interesting that didn't commit code for a week or so).
