Module development and code questions

2checkout addon for e-commerce module
is someone work on this feature?
maybe i can accelerate this process with some donations?

Does anybody know how to display the information from the summary module? I can configure it but how do i show it?

I want to develop a block for site that allows me to post my my Digg.com data onto it. An example of this would be http://www.kevinrose.com. Digg has a tool that creates html that get's your digg data from their servers. I have a page with this data on my site (http://www.jonhoweonline.com/old/testfeed/feed.html). From what I've read on creating modules, this shouldn't be that hard.

Copied (and editied) from http://drupal.org/node/25764 :

How might I, in my Drupal 4.6.1 site, set a default term that is automatically selected when a enters a create-blog-entry form? (Right now the first term appears to be selected by default, and I want to change this to a site-admin-programmable selection.)

I do not see any capability for this in admin/taxonomy/edit/vocabulary/*.

If no capability exists, can anyone provide pointers as to where/how I might update the code to do so?

I've been searching around and see that there used to be a birthday.module, but it seems to have been dropped. I'm currently capturing members birthdays (in profile.module) and would love a way to display a block like "birthdays this week." Has anyone done done any work on this or interested in seeing something like this?

For our educational site we needed a way to enter relatively complex math
formulas. I wrote a filter which converts LaTeX (http://www.latex-project.org/)
formulas into images. Tested on Drupal 4.5.1 and 4.6.0

My php knowledge is too limited to convert this module to drupal standards
so you will have to edit some files manually to reflect your installation directories
(see INSTALL file).
