We have a bricks & mortar store so we have credit card processing through our bank. What we need in our ecommerce web site is the ability to take credit card info using SSL and then all the data would be hashed with Md5 and stored in the database.

Ideally the encrypted orders would be sent to two email accounts. A primary account and a redundant account. the emails would be decrypted on our computer and processed.

Alternately, as administrators we would go to the site and pick-up the orders decrypt them and process them manually through our merchant account.

Is the Project Module still being developed? Drupal 4.5 has been out for a while and the project module page still only has a download for drupal 4.4.

I use(d) the project module for a few php projects and would like to use it for my theme/engine (based on chameleon) that i've been working on. I haven't checked in a while but kind of assumed that it would be ready for 4.5 by now. How is it going? Is the CVS working in 4.5? I tried 4.4 when I upgraded to 4.5 but there were some errors.

This one has me confused.
I am running a single set of code for 3 sites. All have been running for some time.
I was doing some developement on a user profile search module for one of the sites (just simple tweaking as it has been running for some time on a live site) and did encounter a snytax error. Fixed it and the site is fine. This module also runs on the other two sites mentioned.

regardings the chatbox.module, there is only one chat room available. it there possible to customize chat rooms, just like IRC-like features?

I think this would be really cool, and I don't know how to write it myself. It is almost like the "Most recent comments" block, instead I would like to have a "Most recently added image" block (or something along those lines) where the block shows the thumbnail of the newest image and links to it's node. If there is one already, please tell me; if you can help me to make one please tell me also. Thanks.
