Module development and code questions

When I try to submit an image, it's saying:

The uploaded image(1280x960) is too large (max 1024x768).

How do I change this to accept larger images?

I just checked how often the filenames README (213) and README.txt (44) appear in the contrib CVS.

I'd like to see a common naming convention for text-files, not only README, but also INSTALL, LICENSE etc. IMHO all files in core as well as in contrib should either have ".txt" appended or not - but consistently.

My question is, what should we be using? README is the standard on Unix/Linux systems, README.txt might be simpler to open and more common on Windows boxes. Personally I don't care much, but IMHO we should establish a standard naming convention here...

Hi Everyone,
I'm really struggling with a fairly simple customisation.

One the article/story/blog page the top element goes something like so:

Submitted by $username on $day, $date $time

I swear I've crawled through the template for my theme, as well as the .inc files and a few modules. I've even searched for 'Submitted by' but no luck!

I want to get access to the structure of the output as I want to do something like so:

Is anybody working on porting this fine privatemsg module to 4.5?
I suppose the old files aren't working with 4.5?

Thanks,

Zuperfly

After installing the ecommerce module and all accompanying modules, I created a product, but it shows 'sold out'. In addition, there is no appearance of a button to purchase or begin the purchase process, even though all the permissions look okay. In addition the shopping cart shows up okay. I have installed poorman's cron but that doesn't appear to have helped.

How do I complete the installation so that you can go through the purchase process. I don't get any error messages.

I know Drupal and it's contribs are open source and 'owned' by the community but I have a quick question: There are a few modules from 4.4 I would really like to use, but they haven't been updated to 4.5 yet. I have a little bit of extra time and am an experienced php'er.
Do I just pick a module I want to use and upgrade it myself? What if others are working on that same module, am I 'stepping on toes' by converting it without asking the creator first?
