Just posting this for hysterical posterity... this is the task list that sunk our deadlines:

Dear Ben, Dan,

I have been in Rome all day and came back home late.
I went on the site and was surprised to find that our main priorities are still very behind.

So, to be clear, I am listing them again and would like an answer for each:

1- creation of country "portals" accessible from the home page with country button or other method.
They should be as described in the first powerpoint we sent you, with a map, list of actions, etc.

    $form['place_taxonomy']['#tree'] = TRUE;  // this was so important and so easy to overlook

"Hacking Google Maps and Google Earth", by Martin C. Brown (Wiley Publishing Inc, 2006)

Have not ordered it yet given time-to-go-live on this.

Resolution

Not quite what Agaric was asking for... had to move it from sites/all/modules over to the appropriate theme directory. It's like Drush wasn't paying attention, and on our second date too...

Well, it's official. I've been offered some time to play on Nondeskript's radio show this Thursday October 18th.

People who like music are encouraged to listen.

The details:
10:00pm-12:00am ---- The Rush ---- WMUA 91.1FM Amherst, MA

Another module by Arto Bendiken
install Drush module

then

command line:
php ./drush.php help

Boost actually comes with some Drush commands, but they're out of date

If you are a lazy developer [and most of us are]
you will like drush

php ./drush.php pm install boost

(I'm connected to the groups.drupal.org site which is not the best place to demo stuff, but I think this is safe)

It went and found the latest release from update status, and went and installed it into

For maximum ease of use, the answer is in the title.

From DevArticles Forum:

SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE foo IN (1,2)

Allegedly:

Note that the IN is an array. If you have a large amount of items it may be easier to use IN $array rather than write a long query.

Resolution

Pierre was concerned about group originators abandoning a group. Here's the message you get on a group's subscription page on Groups.Drupal.org if you are the one who created the group:

You may not unsubscribe from this group because you are its owner. A site administrator can assign ownership to another user and then you may unsubscribe.

So while an Organic Groups group owner can assign co-moderators, they can't reassign ownership. But a site admin can.

Dear Green Maps,

I'm with a group working on the World Social Forum 2008 global call for
local action web site, and we were wondering if you had any advice /
resources / ability to help available on the mapping side.

For instance, we haven't figured out yet how to show all nodes even when at
a distant zoom. The other thing we need to do is throw in short
descriptions etc. in that pop-up, but haven't gotten to trying that yet.

Here's the dump of the form information for the profile node type embedded in the user registration form.

I can't get form_alter to apply to just this form-- if I use node-form it works, but it shrinks every other body text field also.

Form ID: user_register
Array
(
    [user_registration_help] => Array
        (
            [#value] =>
        )
