Will money screw up the open source volunteer ethos?

Yes, I'm worried about what happens when you inject money where things were volunteer.

I hope that instead funding particular improvements will support, and indirectly reward, the volunteer code and patches that are central to open source free software development.

Share RSS feeds between two Drupal sites

This is the basic, basic approach.

Drupal RSS feed aggregator
external RSS block
display RSS feeds in a block

On the site you'd like to get feeds from...
Drupal turn on RSS feeds

just find the section you care about, try adding /feed to the end if no little orange block is there

Breadcrumb control

Agaric would like breadcrumbs in Drupal to just work, but barring that until book navigation becomes general navigation in Drupal 6, we'd just like control...

Custom Breadcrumbs module

From the PHP snippet section...

Breadcrumbs including title

Agaric Wants an 'Anybody Wants' Drupal Project Funding Module

In affirmation of an excellent post by Daniel (dahacook), Need more structure and funding model... Agaric (well, Ben) posted this:

I applaud Walt's work in promoting projects needed financing and projects needing developers, and I see this [Daniel's] idea as a way to build on it.

Get a node's taxonomy terms that are in a given vocabulary

well, duh:

taxonomy_node_get_terms_by_vocabulary

(No, I am not making that function name up! This is a function provided by Drupal's core taxonomy module.)

Definition
taxonomy_node_get_terms_by_vocabulary($nid, $vid, $key = 'tid')
modules/taxonomy/taxonomy.module, line 744

Description:

Find all terms associated with the given node, within one vocabulary.

Code:

Path to theme

Looking for the drupal path to your current theme? It can be helpful if you're making a theme and, for a change, you want to link directly to

print theme('stylesheet_import', base_path() . path_to_theme() ."/modules.css");

For our purposes, something like:

<img src="<?php echo base_path() . path_to_theme() . "/sample.png"; ?>" />

Now I'm not sure that "." in echo will work. Feel free to test it out for us!

Where is the Semantic Web?

Here I am, a wildly successful web developer, with "wild success" defined as "receiving money," and I want to publish a book review on my blog.

So of course I read the Wikipedia entry on Semantic Web.

And several hours of research later, I'm still not quite sure how to write up a book review, with author and publisher and ISBN and all that exciting information encoded in a way that tiny little people in mechanized bloodhounds (or however search engines and aggregators work) can find it when searching for such info.
