Craigslist style postings

I want to enable Craigslist style postings.

That is, I want anonymous users to be able to create nodes; they will receive an email with a link to confirm the post. The user can also edit or delete the post from links in the email. (other anonymous users will not be able to edit or delete the post).

It's almost like giving users a temporary account for each post; they are automatically authenticated when clicking on the link (which will embed the node id and a random passcode).

What is the best way to build this?

blogroll.module

I think I am ready to submit blogroll as a project. Since this is my first module I wanted to get some initial feedback to make sure this is the right course of action and to check that I'm not duplicating anyone's work that I may have missed. I will checkin the following files to the contributors-cvs/modules/blogroll/ directory.

Beta test my latest two modules :)

I'm in the final stages for both the flickr.module and the technorati.module. The former takes flickr.com photosets and turns them into semi-local pages, as well as adds a few input filters to easily render images hosted on flickr inside nodes. The technorati.module fetches both your link cosmos as well as the outgoing link data and turns it into a local page. It also adds a new item to the _links function, showing individual entry cosmos data.

upload limit module?

I'd like to have a mod that can allow the admin:

1.to view the total uploaded ( for all nodes) per user and then be able to set an upload limit for say ...a role. Thus giveing all users in a role an upload limit and then
2.being able to setup say a monthly upload limit and reset this at the end of the month.

Is there something similar out here already...some module I could learn from or modify.
Be glad for any pointers. Thank you.

Proposal for extending taxonomy module to filter based on node type

This post is to propose an enhancement of taxonomy module so that it will be possible to to filter nodes also on node type.

This is a need when you have to share one vocabulary between multiple node types.
One example is the vocabulary 'Geography', containing all Cities and Regions. You could have events, stories and other custom made node types, sharing this vocabulary.
The need arises when you want to see only events of a certain region; if you filter only on region, you'll see also stories and the other custom node types.

The new syntax, according to new Drupal 4.5 syntax, could be the following:

taxonomy/term/term1,term2,term3(nodetype1,nodetype2)/........

to filter based on three terms (in OR each others) and on two different node types

or

taxonomy/term/term1+term2+term3(nodetype1,nodetype2)/........

to filter based on three terms (in AND each others) and on two different node types

The rest of the syntax for taxonomy/term will remain the same.

Node types should be tested for validity. You can specify one or more node types; if you omit node types, normal term filtering is issued.

I understand that this need is a common interest of many people; in the past I submitted a patch that adds such feature, but it remained in a limbo situation.

I would like to go on with it, because I need for some sites I'm setting up, but would like to avoid creating a new module, and would like to have such feature in the core, so that modules like taxonomy_html, taxonomy_browser and taxonomy_dhtml could benefit from it.

School assignment manager module?

I'm considering writing a module to handle assignments and classes for my school. The module would support teachers (a user group), the classes they create, and the assignments in each of those classes. I want students to be able to create a class list and easily see what assignments there are. I don't want any sort of "distance learning" features - this is a real brick-and-mortar school.
