Drupal core's version numbers are changing to 2 digits

After a lengthy debate, the core Drupal system is moving to a new, more simple convention for its version numbers: there will only be 2 digits. For example, the forthcoming stable release will be version 5.0. The 5 represents the major revision of Drupal, and indicates what modules and themes will be compatible with it. The 0 is the patch level, and indicates that it will be the first release of this version of Drupal. Subsequent bug fixes and security patches will be released as 5.1, 5.2, and so on. New features will only be added to the next version of Drupal core, (the 6.0 release in this case). You can find out more about this topic by reading version numbers, policies and which version you should use.

Module installation (new request?)

Coming from DNN experience - installation of the DNN third-party modules is fairly easy and something which I miss much in Drupal. Basicaly DNN has own package definition and installation can be done through the portal (no messing around with the file system). Additionally, DNN specifies strongly _uninstallation_ - having problems with a Drupal module - it would be great if Drupal could push the quality of third party products.

Thanks for your attention

New version number convention for core

(If you're already familiar with this debate and the various proposals, you can skip to the table of pros and cons at the bottom of this post).

Motivation

Drupal core releases are currently numbered “X.Y.Z”, where “X.Y” correspond to a major revision, and “Z” corresponds to a patch level. We assign no special significance to “Y”, and stable releases are not guaranteed to be (and in fact, never are) compatible with each other.

Whenever a major revision becomes stable enough to release, we enter a new period of development in the TRUNK of the CVS repository. During this time, we have no way to identify the next release. Currently, we call it “cvs”, “HEAD”, or even “the next release”.

All of these names have the terrible property that the code which eventually became 4.6.0 was called the "cvs" code at one point in time, as was the code that became 4.7.0, as is the code that's now on the way to be 5.0.0. If you read an older issue, forum post, email, etc, that talks about the "cvs" version, unless you've got an incredible memory and can map the dates (if there’s a date at all) to the eventually released versions, you have no idea what code they're actually talking about.

This naming/numbering scheme causes real-life problems for the Drupal community. Developers have trouble referring to specific code. Bug reports against the code in the CVS TRUNK are ambiguously identified. There are currently 2146 issues marked for "cvs" -- how many should be considered before we freeze/release the next stable release? We have no idea. Documentation can’t be written in preparation for the next release, since the version number has not yet been finalized. During the development cycle, there’s no way to identify the state of the core source in a way that contributed modules could test if a given change to the API will solve the problem or provide the feature that caused it.

Drupal Forum Settings

Many users have requested a more phpBB like forum interface with drupal, in fact, there is even a drupal interface for installing phpBB with drupal. I used this, however it's not suggested since it opens more security hole possibilities, and is not completely integrated with drupal.

There are ways to make an interface similar to phpBB's forums with flatforum, however, again, it's not a core functionality and it doesn't integrate 100% with all templates.

Here's what I propose:

Assigning static pages to Category links in the menu bar

Hi,

I have created new Category items which are displayed in the left menu bar. The category hierarchy looks like this.

ABC
- DEF
-a
-b
-c
- GHI
-d
-e
-f
- JKL

This Category ABC is of type "page".

I have two questions here.
