What should I say?

As part of a build-a-module-and-blog-about-it slot in the first round of the Knight News Challenge, I'm being asked to, well, blog. Which Knight and MediaShift (PBS) will promote. What I'm really going for is a much bigger and far less tame goal than Related Content– approximately, revolution against bad, anti-people media. That's step one in a building a larger, more successful movement for justice, liberty, and a happier planet.

Taxonomy location: what's been done?

Taxonomy-based location. What's been done? Precious little.

Aaron Pratt talked about it is 2007, Spring:

Assign Taxonomy Term Based On City, Using Location module

Slavica Jones talked about it -- sounds more like the not-yet existent taxonomy module, ultimately -- in 2003:

More on the COA redirect issues: Yahoo weighs in with strange error

I tired to follow back to your web page and could not get through. A
yahoo search yielded the same result: coanews.org has too many
forwarding links to connect. I found you by following the yahoo search
link to http://archive.coanews.org/. from there I was able to find this
email address.

FreeCycle Yahoo-groups only?

The Framingham Freecycle group is a part of the larger Freecycle Network. To the best of my knowledge all approved Freecycle groups use Yahoo, and the Framingham group would not make a move unless the rest of Freecycle decided to transition to a new platform. For more information on the overall Freecycle organization, please visit http://www.freecycle.org/

In response to my inquiry:

Agaric wants to be able to override Drupal form validation errors

Validation error, please try again. If this error persists, please contact the site administrator.

OK. It persists, and I am the site administrator. What exactly am I supposed to do?

Drupal's Installation Profile repository should allow include files

I feel pretty strongly about this, but I don't even know what issue queue to complain in... so I'll just post it on Agaric's own site, and expect the gods to hear me.

Modular Installation Profiles

Agaric (or one of us, at least) is obsessed by the idea of modular installation profiles.

It's just the way Drupal should be.

Our Agaric Starter Profile was a hacky start at that, and has either been delisted from Drupal.org or we never made a proper release (either way, attention to it has suffered and we can't complain). More time than I had went into trying to create separate include files that could be combined in different ways to serve as a set of varying profiles that could be chosen.

Give choice to show body field label, as for CCK field labels, on custom content types

Agaric wants to optionally be able to display the label for the node body on CCK content types.

On the "note" content type, the real and true body has the label name "Resolution"-- but you won't see where the body starts because it doesn't show up!

(This text is in the Description & Info textfield, which is labeled.)

Is the only solution theming cck the agaric way?
