Module development and code questions

I'm having trouble updating 4.4 CVS tags on modules and themes in the contributions repository.

I've done a modified version of statistics.module that supports browser and os statistics.
The download is avalaible on http://assente.altervista.org/?q=node/view/19 ; the site is in Italian but the module is in English.

I had an interesting idea that might make a good Drupla module. FreeCache is free service at http://www.archive.org/web/freecache.php which will cache contant for free. It's kind of the poor man's
Akamai. What if there was a Drupal module to enable the munging of selected URL's on a Drupal site to be fetched through FreeCache, or some other caching service.

hi,

i'm seeing a problem with the navigation module when the i18n module is enabled. with either the block menu or tabs, if a parent menu item has a child, it doesn't expand as it should when you select it from the menu (for menu, source shows class=collapsed when it should be expanded). as soon as i disable the i18n module, the child items are displayed as they should be when a parent is selected. i'm using URL rewriting for i18n for translation of the interface and content.

Hello everybody,

I updated the guestbook module (refers to http://drupal.org/node/view/7647). Now every user can have a individual guestbook. Download available under http://madarts.wamigge.de/?q=node/view/427

Is there a simple alternative to drupal_set_message for displaying information at the *top* of the current page? I don't want to modify the current 'status' box as it looks right for the admin pages, but taxonomy_config puts the section descriptions at the top of the taxonomy pages in a little bulleted 'Status' box.
