I'm going to do a quick, impromptu Dojo session on DimDim about using Embedded Media Field in conjunction with Imagecache. Because I feel like it. Sorry about the short notice; I'll post deets here for interested people who want to know but missed the show... For Drupal 6. Join #drupal-dojo in IRC.

As a supplement to the Media group, I launched Drupal Media today to help with the ongoing Media sprint efforts. On its front page, you'll see a map to the next sprint (which is at Mansueto - 7 World Trade Ctr, New York, NY this Friday-Saturday, October 23-24, from 9-5). Tabs are also available for discussions (add your own), videos, and a feed to the Media module issue queue. Please give me any feedback or desired functionality that would be useful for the site. (Including long-term plans for the useful domain, contributed by the good folks at Development Seed.)

Don't forget that you have to pre-register if you plan to come to the sprint, with your full name. Hope to see you there, or at #drupal-media in IRC!

Media API

• Create a workflow diagram.
• Ensure Registration of Media modules works, and is complete. See media_get_registered_modules().
• Convert 'Resources' to 'Streams' to work w/ Stream Wrappers in core.
• Document all hooks for the module.
• Determine continued need/placement for 'Formatters'.
• Continue building Media form (ala Maarten's designs).
• Add thumbnail support for browsing files.
• Convert dbqueries to dbtng.
• Drupal behaviors & AHAH callbacks.
• Create any required images.
• Add default theme options for stream display in browser.

File/Stream Handling

• Handle uploaded files.
• Integrate with FileField.
• Ensure files shared in multiple places aren't deleted unless they are singular.
• Handle shared files/streams.
• Handle streams other than default public/private.
• Token integration.

Remote Streams

• Create YouTube stream wrapper.
• Create Flickr stream wrapper.
• Create Brightcove stream wrapper.

Media Metadata

• Determine continued need/placement for 'Metadata' (and how it fits w/ core RDF).
• Determine if key/value pairs is best way to go forward.
• Create table for storage.
• Create hooks for modules to store unique columns.
• Create metadata collection form.

SimpleTests

• Create simpletests.

Views Integration

• Allow a Views formatter for file browser -- perhaps an administrative dropdown of available views ala quicktabs or panels?

WYSIWYG Support

• Research the WYSIWYG module to determine how to integrate.
• Create a plan for WYSIWYG integration.

The developer that we had signed up for the MERCI Notes bounty ($500) backed out. The money is still available. I've been nudging Gus to start working on smaller projects like this to both prove that the Kata model works as well as raise funds to reinvest in the Dojo and Kata... basically starting with smaller tasks and growing organically vs. trying to build the Taj Mahal of learning solutions.

I find it not so easy to theme categories on node edit pages. For example, if I have a group of input fields for location, where "City" is a CCK text field and "State" is a vocabulary, I don't know easy (standard Drupal) way to put "City" and "State" close by; there could be other vocabulary fields that are not related to location and should be placed apart from "State".

I have been resorting to kind of hacky approaches such as javascript to manipulate/relocate fields on client side, which works but I can't help feeling there must be a better way.

Hey all,

Ive been exploring the wonderful Drupal framework for some weeks now, been reading alot about modules, module development and theming. In the last few weeks i have developed some small modules that i want to test using the Simpletest module.
Ive read the documentation and the tutorial to get some sense of how to set up Simpletest for my modules. So i thought i would start by making some functional tests for my custom CCK types. So far i haven't had much luck, ive been wrestling Simpltest for a while now and its not returning the love so far :P
