Hello all,

How can I disable signatures in 4.5? - I *really* dont want them on my site ;-)

thx..

I just read this article where someone is offering money to change a drupal module and I do think it is great. It combines the Cathedral and the bazaar, mixing money with open source. I do think 50 USD is a bit low (it will buy you less than one hour functional design in most companies in the Netherlands) but it is a start. However, the last point is a bit weird.

All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).

(emphasis mine)

To get this straight, someone is asking to change the ecommerce code ("But I need it modified.") which is GPLicensed and to make this -unless agreed otherwise- proprietary! In the Netherlands even asking for someone to do this (which is a crime, no matter the "unless.. agreed... buyer"), would be a crime.

So is this a standard form on the rentacoder.com site or a small mistake of the buyer. Either way, every

as i have read a couple of post already adressing the subject of (private) groups within a drupal installation, here my reflections on this subject:
I have done some work on knowledge-communities and how they should be constructed to support knowledge-exchange in an online environmnent. drupal seemed to be doing most of what i needed, only few things were missing. what i needed in addition, was the possibility to

- choose with whom a user wants to share his/her knowledge (my efforts were motivated by k-mgt-reflections, ... therefore the term knowledge). they either can keep it for themselves, share it with one/several knowledge-groups he/she is part of, or share it with the whole userbase of the community
- create knowledge-groups with a shared taxonomy, within the existing community. These groups could be open or private, depending on the needs
- keep a private taxonomy to class all info according to his/her own vision of the world (=taxonomy). so that they could pick out information they define as important and class them personally.

in order to do so, i made another modul, which allowed me to use the vocabularies defined in the taxonomy-module to create my groups. I also coded kind of a navigation interface and called it all the “portal.module”. As I am not much of a coder, it’s all hick-hack so far, but did what i wanted it to do.

I would like to set up a Drupal site using postgresql. After reading through the forums it appears that support for postgres lags behind mysql. furthermore many of the modules I require do not include postgres schemas: mailhandler, filestore2, fscache, mime_registry.

Can anyone comment on the postgres support for these modules: mailhandler, filestore2, fscache, mime_registry? Has anyone successfully implemented these running postgres?
