The Zen of Drupal?

The Python community has a concept of things being "pythonic" or not. It's a loosely defined subjective feeling experienced Python programmers (ie not me) get when looking at Python code. It's a judgement about how well that code or design works with the language rather than against it. It becomes a cultural thing that seems to get passed on from programmer to programmer without anyone really being able to put their finger on it. It kinda gives the language its 'personality' and best practices.

Does Drupal have a similar concept?

Using Drupal to create an online polling station

I have been using Drupal to do an online polling site. One of the issues I have is how to add a description text before the actual polling question. The title only allows a limited number of words. Can someone shed some light on improving this? Thanks!

Drupal as a personal feed aggregator

I've just started using Drupal as my feed reader of choice, rather than using any software on my PC.

Of course I use Drupal's aggregator module to collect the feeds - but after that I now get my own module (currently called aggy) to mark which feeds I've read. This way I can read only the new news and ignore the rest.

Is anyone interested in seeing this module developed further?

I've got a screenshot on flickr, and any questions or comments are welcome.

Menu question

I want to create a menu item with more parent item.

An example :

 > Documents (Menu item)
     - Unix   (Parent item1)
     - Windows  (Parent item2)

I don't check "Expanded" in Menu control panel because i don't want to expand menu "Documents" by default.

I want to expand menu "Documents" after I click on "Documents"

What need to do ? Anyone write the steps for me ?

Please help me.
Thank you !

Private nodes?

I'm interested in making nodes private on a per node basis. I'm not talking about node_privacy_byrole, or other permissioning modules (I'm already using organic_groups); rather, I'm talking about making nodes just for yourself. This would be like drafts of stories you don't want in the moderation queue (though perhaps workflow.module would carry this), private blog entries to air your own thoughts on for *just you*, etc.

Has anyone done this before? Is there a module available? What would I need to mess with to get this done?
