Module development and code questions

I have a bilingual site. When I post a story with image in english, I would love to have that image in the german translation as well, instead of having to duplicate every picture. A HOW-To-DO-Suggestion?
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I couldn't find a way to do this or a current module, so I hope I'm posting this in the right place.

I'm trying to list the same article in different categories and in a different order. More specifically, for example, plants have a common name and a scientific species name. I'd like to have the same content page but have two separate alphabetical lists: by common and scientific name. I would think the best way to go about this would be to assign an alternate title to the article.

I've started a Module Project called Theme Loader for an idea I had based on a discussion with a friend who recently introduced Drupal to his brother, a Joomla user. One of the main things his brother had to say was that Drupal needs a way to allow users to easily install themes without having to ftp to the server to upload new ones. I've not seen much discussion (just did a quick search, not too deep) on this topic, so I thought I would start the project and manage it.

I have the Jrating and views module, but Jrating don't shows in the options of fields for sorting in views.

How can I add the jrating fields in the views module??

I am interested in allowing users to choose which modules they want to run for themselves. there are numerous reasons for wanting to do this but thats outside the scope of this question.

what i am interested to know is: is there mechanism (a module perhaps) that will allow users to specify which modules they want loaded for themselves, and then i specify default modules rights for each user/ user groups and based on those settings when a speciffic user logs in to the site, his modules will be loaded to execute the functionality that user is interested in.

I've looked at several alternative contributed aggregators, including feedparser and leech. In it's basic design and function, aggregator does what I want. There's just one problem. The feed parser is slow as dirt. It appeared, when I played with feedparser that the simplepie parser was very quick -- noticeably quicker than the aggregator feed parser. Soooo . . .
