Drupal 7.x

I was wondering is there official (unofficial) summary of new features for comment module (combined with forum module) for upcoming Drupal 7 release.

I really like the http://drupal.org/project/tma theme and would love to see it in Drupal 7 on the release date, I dont know how to code but can design.

Is anyone willing to help me upgrade the theme, obviously under the Open Source license?

Should i first ask project manager if he wants to upgrade or how does this really work?

I am developing a new module but I don't seem to be able to get the menu system to create the parents properly. The module is called embed.

The structure that I'd like is

Administer > Site configuration > Embed > Handlers

Under handlers are a number of further options, defining mime types, so it could be audio > mp3, video > flv

The menu is built in hook_menu(), but all the menu items get a parent of Embed, rather than cascading down. So when I view admin/settings/embed I see handlers, and all the mime elements. What I was expecting was to get handlers first, as there may be other settings to come, with the mime types hidden below.

The code I'm using is

<?php
function embed_menu() {

// Menu items that are basically just menu blocks.
$items['admin/settings/embed'] = array(
'title' => 'Embed',
'description' => 'Configure various aspects of the embed module.',
'page callback' => 'system_admin_menu_block_page',
'access arguments' => array('administer embed'),
);

// Menu items that are basically just menu blocks.
$items['admin/settings/embed/handlers'] = array(
'title' => 'Handlers',
'description' => 'Configure embedding handlers.',
'page callback' => 'system_admin_menu_block_page',
'access arguments' => array('administer embed'),
);

// Get the available embedding themes from a fresh query

How long is the entire process from start to finish? To set up, that is.

Thanks,

I'm designing a few CCK content types that reuse fields that have the same label and data type.

For example, I have a content type called 'Book Review' with a field labeled 'Summary'. I'd like to create a new content type called 'Movie Review' and also give it a field called 'Summary'.

What are the benefits of reusing an existing field for a content type?
Alternatively, what are the benefits of making a new field for a new content type?

I'm writing a file that sits outside of drupal and a form within drupal calls it via ajax to return some data. I want to be able to spit back node info. Is there a way to simply include some files and get it to work? I'm trying but keep getting errors so wanted to try before I go on a wild goose chase.

THanks!
