The Power of Taxonomy

(Apologies if this is posted in the wrong area.) A taxonomy is a natural way of organizing information. The power of Drupal is the recognition of this fact. Drupal can become a serious challenge to most other CMS's if it hones the application of the taxonomy and keeps it central to the architecture. I have used many web-based information management systems particularly Zope and Plone, and have concluded that the most powerful tool is a comprehensive filter allied to a quick search system.

Drupal 4.5 and the old 'remember me' option in login

Hi all,
planning to use 4.5, I would like to know what is the actual situation on login in the case you want Drupal to remember your user and password.
Drupal.org remembers my data, but I can't help doing the same with my system.
Am I doing something wrong, or this feature is not public ??
Are there plans to support this feature, that would simplify login to users ?

Repeated Blog Avatars - suggestion and discussion

(not sure if this is a design issue, or a usability issue, anyway...)

I have always thought that a Drupal blog, with pics (avatars) enabled, looks a bit strange. This is because each post is by the same author, so you get listing of posts all with the same pictures.

Note: if the Author needs or wants his/her pic for other posts on the website, disabling globally is not an option

RSS, syndication, Drupal, Firefox

I am very new to RSS, and am finding it difficult to get my ideas straight on this. However, I was much excited to download version 1.0 of Firefox and discover that when I point it at the Drupal site - a little button appears at the bottom, and I can subscribe to Drupal so that the headlines appear in what Mozilla calls "live bookmarks". COOL!!!

PO files and module translations

Not sure this is the right forum but here it goes:

I have started a translation effort to port the Drupal interface to french (francais). However, last night I downloaded the webform module, a module which is not present in the CVS for translations (contributions/translations/po/fr.po).

What is the correct way to proceed when a module is not already in the fr.po file?
1) Re-export the PO file and check a new one into CVS?
2) ???
3) ..?
