Module development and code questions

The readme for Organic Groups says "All subscriber management happens on the 'user list' page which is linked from the group Block (while viewing a group page). This includes approving subscription requests (for selective groups), unsubscribing users and promoting users into group admins."

What I can't figure out is, how do regular, non-admin users request to subscribe? I can't add any users from the page described above, only see already existing group members, of which there is only one--me the creator of the group....

Recently I wrote a suite of PHP4 classes for handling intellegent writing and reading of syndication feeds.

The suite uses a Factory Pattern approach to constructing an appropriate object to read a feed given a feed url, or to write a feed given a format. Each object (obviously) uses the same interface to provide access to the items and feed meta-data.

I have readers and writers for RSS 0.92, RDF 1.0, RSS 2.0 and Atom 0.3 available.

The code is under the ZLIB license as I wrote it with two initial uses in mind, the first being to re-vamp the Geeklog syndication system, the second being a commercial PHP application I am working on.

This should make it a viable option for integration into agregator.module for 4.6 to provide a more flexible and extensible way of handling feeds, plus providing more format options out of the box. The same classes could be used to generate the feeds that Drupal provides itself, or for any other module.

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.
