Sorry If this is the wrong way to do this...but this sounds like a great module. I'd like to check it out but where is it?

Again please excuse the newb.

Thank you.

Right now the module has been checked into the drupal.org CVS repository, but I have not yet created a release for the module because it's still in an unfinished state. Unfortunately I've needed to work on porting the project module, which runs the development of drupal, to Drupal 6 and I haven't gotten a chance to work on comment alter taxonomy for a while. Hopefully I'll be able to take up development of this module again in the semi-near future. Patches would be appreciated if you're able and/or interested.

Thanks for the quick response. I'd love to help, unfortunately I don't have the coding skills. Thank you!

I just checked the module from cvs. It seems to be working quite well, though users should be warned that it works with the latest DRUPAL-5--2-1 project_issue.module or above.

Why not do a dev snapshot release, at least (with a proper warning about the current maintenance status): this would allow more users to test it.

I'm not doing a snapshot release because I don't feel that it's ready for a release. There is a known issue that could be called a security issue in the queue (I wouldn't actually call it that, but at first glance it might look like one), and once that gets fixed I might consider a snapshot. If someone isn't capable of downloading via CVS, they probably shouldn't be using a module that is as unpolished as this one is.

And, as I mentioned above, I just don't have the time to spend on this module as is, so increased testing won't help that much in the short term.

But, thanks for letting me know that you've used the module and it works!

Does this mean that this module won't work on regular nodes without project module installed?

We're looking for this basic functionality where users can change the post "status" taxonomy by posting a comment and selecting the proper taxonomy term from a drop-down.

Thanks,
A.

It will work on regular nodes without the project issue tracking module installed, but it won't appear to do much. Comments will show the appropriate taxonomy editing forms, but nodes/comments won't have any indication of when the taxonomy terms change. So, in other words, the terms shown with the actual node itself will always reflect the current terms, but it won't be clear what the terms were previously or what comment changed them.

Please realize, as I've mentioned above, that this module is still in development and is subject to change. Don't use it on a production site.

Well, there is a snapshot release, now:
http://drupal.org/node/223061/release
Thanks for all your work on the module, recently.

Maybe the snapshot release can be promoted on the module home page, now.
