General discussion

I am reasonably impressed by the Drupal documentation but sometimes it doesnt go far enough.

One area which I think it is lacking is in the Flexinode documentation. There seems to be lots of mention of it all around this site including patches. However it would be good in these were joined into one place.

Is there a handbook which we should be enhancing?
If not do you want me to edit one?
If I do edit one will you either supply material for it or point me at material which I should summarise/copy?

I did test drupal 4.7 beta3 by creating several nodes in Chinese (encoding: UTF-8) and the display is not correct @@; does anyone know how to solve it ?

I've got a quick hack to make passwords a little easier for registering users. I just made a list of words to put at the beginning of the password, and then fill the end with random letters and numbers. Since the site I use is a christian site, the list of words are based on Christian ideas, and I've adjusted the random list to only some letters and numbers to prevent a chance of cusswords being created.

Has any developer tried to apply for funding through OpenSourceFund.org? It would be interesting to see what kinds of Drupal projects they may be willing to support. If you try, and succeed, make sure and report back here!

OSF's primary objective is to provide material support (money, server space, etc.) for the development of addons, modules, blocks, components, themes, etc. for any of the systems showcased at opensourceCMS.com.

Hello,

I've written a small contact page in PHP which call's PHP's mail() function. Somehow if I create a new page which executes the mail() function, I recieve two e-mails.

I can't seem to find what's wrong. I'm using the following statement:

$success = mail('someone@mydomain.com', 'test e-mail', 'e-mail body');
print "success=";
print $success

Is this a common problem or a bug in Drupal or is something else wrong? Please help...

Thanks,
Guus.

Hello,

at first: Drupal seems to be really well done! I tried a demo and was immediately able to understand the administration menus!
