Attempting to use Drush for recently released modules does not work

Just so y'all know.

Update Status module must take a while to get its info.

Set GMap to not recenter when pop-up div opens

No answer, but this guy does seem to know what he's doing with maps:

Pass information from a URL into a Drupal page or form

The solutions are not Drupal-specific, should work in any PHP.

drupal pass url to form

arg(2) does it -- or arg(0) or arg(1) or whatever.

panels arguments title
Done. Note: Panels 2 will be able to have a title influenced by arguments without any need for this hack.

Taxonomy translation: better way in Drupal 5?

Cache or take an image snapshot of Google maps display in Drupal

Cache a google map shown through GMap module, including the icons loaded on the map-- so essentially, create a static image (jpg, png) of the map that is created through the interaction of your site with the Google Map API and JavaScript.

No answer:

Nor:

Ask Agaric (unsolicited edition) - how to moderate comments but not forum follow-ups

Just guessing, but look into hook_comment

http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_comment/5

Your request could be a pretty useful contrib module (if it isn't already!)

Women in Open Source Free Software

Agaric's Subtitle: How not to be a jerk, to anybody
Agaric's further commentary: lack of female participation in free software projects is a failing and a huge liability for the critically important software (and ideas, information, and knowledge) freedom movement.
It also strongly indicates less human involvement than we otherwise would have.

Agaric wants a Drupal module that lists recently enabled and disabled modules in a block

Agaric would like a module that provides a view (or simply a standard block, linked to a page) that lists the most recently enabled modules and links to their settings pages -- like on the admin by modules page.

A list of recently disabled modules would be nice too, but this would not link to their settings pages! It could link to the modules' spot or section on the Administer » Site Building » Modules page.

Would anyone else like this? Quite an easy module to develop, although because there's no time field in Drupal 5

What Drupal Needs: Drush with Dependencies

Drupal needs smarter packaging scripts.

If you get a module that depends on another module, they should both be delivered to you (and so forth).

But to do this Drupal needs to know what's on your system, so you have to be initiating the transfer from within Drupal. Drush could do this fairly securely.

We need to encourage the lots of small modules approach that everyone loves from the development and extensibility side, but which the difficulty of developing, maintaining, and using can drag down.

Scalar value variable issues

So we had these problems (at end of post). Fairly noticable.

Deleted everything we could find that could cause it (after making a hackish custom error message setting, see blockquote here)

<pre>function wsf_action_init() {
  set_error_handler('wsf_action_backtrace_error_handler');
}
