Hi there! We are in the hot phase of the release of Drupal 4.7. Steven pointed out that still a number of modules need to be made compatible for 4.7. One of the things that should be updated does not even have a project... xtemplate This theme engine was removed from Drupal core (for good reasons). A lot of people however are likely to still rely on it, however. So I ask for some kind soul to create a project for it and bring it up to 4.7 standards. I've heard that there is even a version of the include files for php5 somewhere on the net. We also need to remember to print a prominent notice about the removal somewhere (might already be there). This is a great opportunity for somebody less techie to do a great service for the Drupal community. I know you all have waited for it. On a releated note: queue.module was also removed from core. We should create a project for it and point out that nmoderation can be used as an replacement. IIRC Jeff Eaton was even going to provide an upgrade path. Cheers, Gerhard

xtemplate now has a project: http://drupal.org/node/58790 I've got a preliminary patch that replaces Drupal's XTemplate fork with the current, official version and updates the engine to 4.7: http://drupal.org/node/58803 I've tested it with contrib/themes/xtemplate/xpushbutton and it seems to work well. If anyone can/wants-to do some testing on it I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, andrew
