Drupal contributions

As much as I like Drupal, ofcourse it would be all too easy if it did all that we needed for the IVRPA website out of the box. Fortunately, (a) it is open source, and (b) there's a very active community developing additional functionality for Drupal.
Ever since I have started using Drupal on the SPi-V developers website, I have been making small alterations here and there, untill I finally got some of my code in the core of Drupal. For the IVRPA website, I have been actively contributing to the following projects:
- User nodes
- This module limits the number of posts of a certain type a user can make. It is used on the IVRPA website for the gallery items.
I fixed some compatibility issues with Drupal 4.7, and improved the presentation. - Google maps
- This module integrates Google Maps with Drupal nodes and users.
I added selecting of a location through a Google Map on creation of nodes. - Flexinode
- Flexinode is one of the more involving modules, that lets site admins create content-types.
I improved the administration presentation
More is definately coming up, in core as well as in contributed modules.
Update 060625:
- Aggregator
- Allows aggregation of content from other websites.
Did some smaller patching to work out some bugs.
Update:Wohoo, commited by Dries himself!
Update 060629:
- Flexinode
- With this patch in, the print and VR gallery are now very close!
