Hi, kolier!

Glad to know about this sandbox'ed module. I had no chance to test it yet, but look forward to try it out.
Also I started creating patches for ECK but maybe ECK extras is the better place to contribute? Not sure.

If we had a document telling us what core eck should be, then it would be clearer what should be part of it. There is an eck group if you want to start a discussion on this topic. When I first started writing eck, my main goal was to add more flexible data modeling capabilities to drupal, and as I start working on the next branch of eck I believe that is still the overall direction of the project.

Hi, fmizzell,

You are the MAN!

I suggest to treat the relation of ECK and ECK_Extras this way.

It would be a candidate play ground (which are also useful to some people but a lot more open mind).
The core team of ECK will pick up any features they want to go in ECK.
Then ECK_Extras team will transfer it into ECK.

What about multilingual support?

Although OnkelTem provided a patch for ECK to add multilingual support (thanks again!), should it be included directly in ECK, or ECK_Extras, or maybe in i18n?

See this thread for mroe info : http://drupal.org/node/1358682

While modularity is a good thing and beautiful for DX, its no good for UX if to get basic functions we need to download too many modules. IMHO, a part of ECK Extras related to new useful types as well as Multilingual support may ship with ECK.

Please review this patch since it breaks ECK Extras (but for a reason):

@OnkelTem

Done.

@kolier, do you think we can have individual issues for each piece of functionality, and patches so we can add them one by one. If there is anything I can do to make the transition easier, like giving you the ability to create branches in eck's repo, let me know.

@fmizzell,

Ok. I'll work on it when I have a little more time.
