Are there plans to make a port to drupal 6?
Suggestion to make excerpts always enabled and required

I don't believe this is needed on D6, with the new way teasers can be created in D6 ?

Reading the project page, the dev of this modules has already made a statement about a D6 port.

I see no possibility to make teasers required in d6 so sometimes users forget to make excerpts...

There is a button to split the summary at the cursor. if users don't create a summary, drupal core handles teasers as it always has, based on setting in adminsiter -> post settings.

I don't know that forcing a user to use the new summary feature, makes any sense if the fallback is that core will automatically handle the teaser.

My guess is that you would have to find a way to terminate the split summary feature in D6 and replace it with excerpt, if you were investigating porting this on your own.

I would be very pleased if someone port the module to D6. I use excerpt to display a more attractive excerpt than what is possible with a cut text (image and text in a table).
I have not the required level to develop the port.
