Module development and code questions

I have a couple of setups where there is both Courier-MTA and Drupal being used on the same server. I'm thinking of working up some sort of module to integrate the two so that there is only one place to manage accounts. Has anyone done anything like this already?

I want our forum users to be able to upload an image so I installed the upload image module but I don't like that it lumps files/images together. As far as security goes it seems like it'd be better to let them attach an image or nothing at all, rather than have to grant them the ability to upload anything. Is there another module that just allows image uploads?

Ok,
So what I am attempting to do is output all of my content as XML from CCK defined nodes. The XML structure needs to be pretty specific. I attempted to change the mime type of a template to represent XML and strip out the XHTML stuff. This gets me pretty close.

I do not want to hack the core of Drupal.
Basicaly imagine a menu structure like this.

Home
-Home Sub Page
-Sub Page Two
About Us
-Guy Named Fred
-Gal Named Heather

and the XML output would be like this

<root>
<page title="Home">
      Home content
      <page title="Home Sub Page">
            Some more content
      </page>
      <page title="Sub Page Two">
            Sub Page Content
      </page>
</page>
<page title="About Us">
      About Us Content
      <page title="Guy Named Fred">
          Fred's content
      </page>
      <page title="Gal Named Heather">

Now that we are in feature freeze and concentrating on bug fixes, are there any modules currently being developed for HEAD/5.0 available in the CVS repository? I've seen the thread where developers discuss when they'll start porting, but the majority are waiting for a RC before they start. Has anyone already started?

Anyone thought about creating a librarything module? Just wondering. (http://librarything.com)

Greetings Community,

I am posting to see if anyone could help to point me in the right direction of which module may be right to do the following:

I am creating a repertoire for a theatre company. It lists their shows grouped by years. Example:

2002
• show 1
• show 2
• show 3

2003
• show 1
• show 2
• show 3

and so on...

I would like to display this information inside a page and have each show be a CCK node.
