[drupal-devel] Where to put contact.module
I used to keep the contact module on Drupal CVS. Approximately November of last year, CivicSpace decided to stop development on the contact module in favor of waiting for CivicCRM. Its code is written for Drupal 4.4 and it still doesn't have full support for the node permissions system and is not compatible with the latest version of the forms module. To get it fully working with the features of Drupal 4.6 would probably be equivalent to a full rewrite and testing. Probably a solid week of coding and testing which I don't have. I'd like to move this back to Drupal CVS since the volunteer module requires it and I'd like for all CivicSpace modules to have Drupal.org projects. However I need some way of dealing with the forked forms module and I do not plan on considering any feature requests at this point. Any objections or other comments? -Neil

Surely, this is a bit of a messy situation. I'd rather not pollute the main Drupal repository with forked modules. That would be a nasty precedent. If the sole reason this module exists, is the volunteer.module I'd bundle it as such -- that is, put the forked forms module in contrib/modules/volunteer along with an explanation. Would that work for you? -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

Did CivicSpace complete the move to drupal.org, or not yet? I'd like to learn more about the current status. From the looks, CivicSpace people are actively using Drupal's CVS repositories. Thanks. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

We have every module except the installer, configure module, contact_manager, and node_import on Drupal.org. The installer and configure module will be rolled into Adrian's installation plans as needed under his direction. Contact_manager is not in Drupal CVS, but is in a state which it could be added since the name conflict with contact is now resolved. Node_import is being completed this week and I will talk with Moshe about where to post this since it didn't get done for the 4.6 release as planned. We are still trying to figure out the logistics of using Drupal's issue queues for keeping track of everything efficiently. Checking 30 issue queues in various states of maintenance isn't going to be easy. -Neil
