The Difficulty of Identifying All Hook Implementations

explained by Matej Midriak (wapnik):

Sorry i don't have time now to examine the code to find all those
patterns (if that's even possible without reading the entire drupal
sources), but here is one example.
In drupal_mail() function:

Should be quite possible as Tomboy notes are saved in XML; not finding anyone doing it.

In Drupal, it would make sense to make Tomboy notes their own content type, so they could have their special linking, but full web content with pictures and taxonomy and all that good stuff would be separate, and could reference/include Tomboy notes.

I think the best way is probably AJAX.

Using curl which takes a timeout argument is also possible.

In Drupal 7, better to use drupal_http_request().

i asked about Opera:

Jeff Robbins:
Opera is the browser on alternate devices

they're very compatible

nowadays when they talk about Symbian - Nokia's OS

currently, in the marketplace, most people have android or iphone, and it's the same browser.

iUI
i don't know how much is from Rob, and how much from google…

Ron:
[shops i consider role models]
i don't have them listed or ranked

most people were in the last presentation

in my opinion most [Drupal shops] are about the same size, under 40.

Page Rendering in Drupal 7, presentation by Moshe Weitzman at DrupalCon Paris 2009. Transcript.

Changes you can make with this rendering system that was hard with D6 but trivial in D7.

This isn't pretty. And i've probably left out a critical step.

Core concepts: making some changes directly in the database. Enabling head2head and alpha2alpha in the database (setting both status and schema_version). Manually commenting out the update hooks that i did in the database to make user module's updates work so that alpha2alpha's can work.

Setting the line in alpha2alpha.module to give the current version:

<?php
  $version = variable_get('alpha2alpha_version', 7);
?>

Here's the code in system_modules_submit() - the function called when admin/modules is saved - that skips over flushing caches if no modules are enabled or disabled:
