I am currently working on a port of the image gallery that comes with image.module to work with category.module.

One gripe i have is that you loose the image gallery tiled page display functionality of image.module with category.module, so I decided to rewrite it for category.module :)

First attempt at coding with Drupal, but it seems dead easy (im a .net programmer/data analyst by trade), I started with the category_display.module to grab all the required hooks into the category module, rewrote them all.

So far I have a configuration option added to the category container edit page and tiled page display (html output is not correct, but the fuctions are working correctly).

Code is here: http://www.rideonby.co.uk/images/category_gallery.zip if your interested in having a look, I've spent approx 3 hours coding it and the past day learning how drupal works under the hood.

Anyways onto my main question, I'm not so sure how to approach publishing this module, does it qualify as its own project that should go on drupal.org ?

Cheers, Nick

IMHO, the best way would be to take category.module's approach of placing helper modules in the contrib directory of category.module. Call it category_image or whatever.

Jaza would be able to commit it for you since he has cvs access to contrib. You should contact and let him know about this if you already haven't.
