Hi,

I am new to Drupal, and it looks really interesting, so here is a practice question to try and get myself in the flow of the Drupal community:

I see the comment.module wants to require a subject, so that if the given subject is blank, it will extract one from the body. Why is this? Would there be objection to allowing a blank subject? To me, especially for comments in forums, it is nice to not need a subject, and so allow a theme to respond by not even showing a subject line and making the body more immediately visible, which is nice for short comments, I think.

A great addition would be if Drupal supported the use of flash, instead of what are images now. Shouldn't be that hard to implement.

So, anyone drawn those diagrams yet? That one ERD isn't really what I need.
I'd need a document flow (or is it work flow?) diagram or something like that.

Some of you mentioned interest last week in a module that would bridge Drupal to WebCalendar. Well, I knocked one out and anyone who'd like to give it a run can find it here.

caveat: this is *not* a port. I did not rewrite this app - just made it available from within standard Drupal tools. I hope you guys find it useful.

Mangling other people's code since 1997.

Now that 4.3 features so many improvements - like db prefixing - are there any plans for an install script?
I guess that would improve Drupals appeal to non-programmers.
Especially if it contains a guide like structure, and gives the installer the choice of a few preset configurations - like community site, personal site, etc.

4.3 makes Drupal rock even more - thanx guys.

Hi, I came from Tiki, a wiki environment. I was surprised to see how little control users have over placement of book pages. Even if a user creates a new page, it goes in alphabetical order under a parent. The book module appears to provide little control to a non-admin to decide where a page goes, other than picking its parent.
