Installing Cygwin for Drupal patch testing and development

Update: See Randy Fay's Cygwin quickstart tutorial, http://randyfay.com/node/70

Many Drupal things are best done in a UNIX-like environment. One solution is to run a Linux distribution like Ubuntu in a virtual machine, as is provided by http://drupal.org/project/quickstart. Another solution (on Microsoft Windows) is Cygwin, to bring the power of the UNIX command line to Windows.

Where can hook implementations be placed so that they are called?

.module files or any file mentioned in the module's .info?

23:31 rfay: Can they be placed in any file listed in the info file's files[] ?

Send an e-mail to an administrator when a new user registers on a Drupal 7 site

10:13 benjamin-agaric: Drupal 7 - the simplest way to have an administrator e-mailed when a new user signs up? Can't find any core setting and no trigger does it either? Seems we should have a way to get this functionality short of Rules module... thoughs?
10:22 benjamin-agaric: Answer: it can be done through Drupal core- an advanced action simply has to be configured first at admin/config/system/actions/configure and then back to trigger configuration.

Dates of joining for first Drupal.org registered users

There is no accurate registration date information for the first couple years, the first couple thousand users, of Drupal.org's history. There is even a discrepancy between the posted "Member for" dates and the apparent launch of the site.

Between users http://drupal.org/user/2119 and http://drupal.org/user/2120 the date of registration (time on site, or "Member for") jumps by two years and two weeks.
