Developer tools

The Bugtracker module is a simple tool to log issues during the developement process of a website.

Redmine integration for bot_project (sub-module of Bot).

A small module that allows you to add CSS code on your site from a web interface. A very simple way of letting designers and coders who don't have full access to the server do CSS-adjustments on a running site without direct access to any files.
The supplementary CSS is written to a small file in the theme folder and can later be implemented into the "real" CSS-file—or left as they are. That will work equally well, but not be quite as kosher.
You can add supplementary CSS-code for each theme individually.

The objective of this module is to provide a model entity and entity administration interface to kick-start your entity development.

While entities in Drupal 7 are a very useful abstraction and can be great tool for suitable projects there are some challenges facing developers wanting to use them:

a. Identifying what is a suitable project for entities.
b. Figuring out what is “best practice” when it comes to entity development and quickly getting up to speed with working code.
c. Effectively integrating entities with Drupal core and modules that are entity-aware and can give you extra functionality for free.

These challenges are partially being met by:

a. The Entity API module covering a lot of the ground that the Core Entity API does not (and then some) and doing a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to integrating with the rest of Drupal core and modules.
b. Real-life examples (Profile2, Drupal Commerce, Message) which illustrate just how entities can be used in real scenarios.

Nevertheless, putting it all together for your own specific needs is still not simple and identifying “best practice” way of doing that is not clear.
