Deprecated - Drupal.org infrastructure

this url doesnt work.................

http://drupaldocs.org/api/head.............

thamks.............

Is there a reason why I can't use my existing drupal account to subscribe for a group? It is very tedious to keep signing up accounts just for joining different groups.

Or, may be I have misunderstood the whole thing?

hiy guys,

Just a public "well done" to the genius who came up with the new "CVS ACCESS" tab idea for projects on Drupal.org.

I had cause to use it this morning - to grant someone else permission to update a module.....and it was blinkingly simple to use.

for the uninitiated, every Drupal project owner now has a new tab on their drupal.org project page - only they and drupal.org admin can access - that allows them to specify who has permission to update the project, apply a patch etc.

nice one guys.

I opened a thread in the Module development forum, in the hope to get some feedback from Drupal core developers, but also from other contrib developers. But I'm posting it here, as I think I did in the wrong place. Sorry, for cross posting.

What I'm requesting is the right to get listed in the contrib modules area, even if you host your own modules (or themes).

Please, compare with the phpBB or WordPress models.

phpBB has its own official database for MODs and Themes. Developers may host their contribs at other places (there are lots) or even at their own sites. People in certain phpBB Teams validate what authors submit to be published at the official repository, but development and or support may take place wherever. phpBB offers some forums for authors and contrib support, but that is not required.

With WordPress there are also some official resources developers may take advantage, but that's not required. No matter where resources for a plugin/theme are. WordPress offers several catalogs where authors may post their contributions.

Now, let's see Drupal. You have just 2 options
a) Get a Drupal CVS account and use official resources for everything.
b) Do it your way, but it's hard because no one can see what you do.

Well, I hope you can see what I'm trying to say...

What I would like to see here at Drupal.org is something developers could use to post information about their contribs, but not just forums, maybe a catalog like (or extend) the official one, for stuff that's not being developed using official resources.

I had two modules in develovment, but they are not listed at http://drupal.org/project/Modules

How can I get they listed into that page and their short project url get activated?

I know that through ./sites/default/settings.php

$conf = array(
   'site_name' => 'My Drupal site',
   'file_directory_path' => 'local/files/'
);

it's possible to set some site specific paths.

But is there a way to set for the directories
./themes
./modules
additional private environments?

Intention is to build a shared core installation and easy to setup private workspaces.

Thanks a lot for any hint.
