Hello, I'd like to propose a new module category to collect all language related modules and tools, with the name 'Multilingual', 'Language tools' or similar. Some modules that may go right away into that category are 'localizer', 'i18n' and 'xliff'... In the case of localizer and i18n they're a big collection of modules, some of which may make sense to spin off from the main package, as long as there's some easy way to have them listed and related. Also, it is my intention to create some more independent modules, like a 'language icons' collection, that then may be reused by the other packages. And there's Gabor's SoC project, which is likely to produce some tools that fit also into this category, http://code.google.com/soc/drupal/appinfo.html?csaid=CCB11E7904E4B8C5 So, not sure this is the place to ask, but I'd also would like to read some opinions about whether this makes sense, and also to know whether there are other related modules that may fit into this category. Regards, Jose A. Reyero

in general, the best place for such a request is as a new issue in the drupal.org webmaster issue queue: http://drupal.org/node/add/project-issue/webmasters (and use "Site organization" for the component). if you want feedback from the devel list about it, just create the issue first, then send a short email to the list with a summary of your proposal, and include the link to the issue for folks to provide their feedback. thanks, -derek p.s. +1 on your proposal. sounds like a good idea to me. ;)
Thanks Derek, I followed your suggestion, so here's the issue: http://drupal.org/node/136727 [Request for new module cagetory: Multilingual] Derek Wright wrote:

Hello world! Drupal's relevance in the education environment is growing. phpEdu's in beta2 and DrupalEd's first distro is out. Would it be possible to have a module category for Education tools? Thanks. Deji On 14/04/07, Jose A. Reyero <drupal@reyero.net> wrote:

We have to be careful adding new categories. When we created the categories, we spent a lot of time researching them (i.e. doing card sort experiments with real humans/users). If we add categories at will, we risk breaking their intuitiveness. I'm +1 for a category 'language tools' but I'm not sure we need an 'education tools' category. Maybe you can provide a list of modules that would be in each of these proposed categories, and if there would be enough of them (at least 5?), we could talk more. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
ATM, I can only think of Quiz, Gradebook, OG_gradebook, phpEdu, DrupalEd. phpEdu in itself currently has 8 modules in the package with more in the works. On 20/04/07, Dries Buytaert <dries.buytaert@gmail.com> wrote:

And I've just found 3 more on the modules page on drupal.org: Vocabulary set, Question-and-Answer sets and FlashCard. Thanks. Deji On 20/04/07, deji akala <dejiakala@gmail.com> wrote:

Most of these modules aren't specifically related to Eductation. We put a lot of work in making the Quiz as general as possible for instance (e.g. by changing every reference to 'student' to 'visitor'). phpEdu and DrupalEd aren't modules but distributions so they do not apply. I'm all for a languages category, but I wouldn't add an education category. Wim deji akala wrote:

Erm, excuse me if I was a bit rushed, but added the category already based on previous positive feedback. http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/97 It contains 6 modules already, of which 5 have releases (so these are showing up the page above by default). These are now: - i18n module suite - localizer module suite - translation template extractor (previously extractor.php) - autolocale import - xliff tools Jose and Roberto are in talks to split out some functionality into standalone modules shared between the i18n and localizer module suites, so the differentiators will better stand out and collaboration is better supported. These modules will appear here too. Gabor
