I applied for a CVS account in order to contribute a small module, call Language bulk operations. The module just adds a "Set language" operation to the bulk node update form at admin/content/node. My request for an account was denied, on the grounds that the proposed module is "too simple."

I agree that the module is simple, because the need is simple. Yet the need exists. I wrote the module because I needed to use that operation, and the core locale module doesn't provide it.

The bulk "Set language" operation really should, in my opinion, be provided by the locale module, so I'd be happy to provide it as a patch to core. But this is for Drupal 6, and from my reading of other issues, it seems that no more new features, or rather no API changes, are being accepted for Drupal 6.

So if my code is too simple for a module, but too complex for core, what then is the approved way to make it available?

Thanks,
Andrew.

Next time just use 8 different design patterns and a couple open api/hook layers to cover up the simplicity of the module. With a grandiose name like that nobody would complain. ;) -mf

Are there any other language/node action modules in Contrib that would make sense as "hosts" for this functionality?
