Content-Type Node Registry

I am interested in developing a node registry for associating node types, content-types and filename extentions together. There are many instances when a chunk of data needs to be inserted into the CMS and choosing the right node type must be done. The two usual meta-data items typically available are content-type and/or filename extention. If these could be used to create nodes, it would reduce a lot of hard-coding that currently goes on.

In my vision, an admin could edit the mapping to direct certain file types to become whatever node type he/she specifies. Each module would then have to implement a hook to parse the data chunk into a proper format and create a node/nodes in response. Both content-type and extention could be expressed as regular expressions.

Image support development--plans and coordination

I'm creating this topic as a space for discussion of image support in Drupal--where it is now, where it's going, who's taking on what, how we might coordinate efforts towards integrating existing support into the Drupal core.

Create articles from HTML, RTF, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel documents

Drupal is very advanced system nowdays. The only lack is converter from HTML, RTF, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel documents (especially last ones). Because of popularity of these formats in business area, it would be great to support those formats in CMS.

E.g. many firms keep their price-lists in Excel docs and they want to easely post them to the Web without reformatting or so. As well as brochures "About us"-like in format of Word docs.
