Node Find Replace Updated

I just released a new version of node_find_replace for Drupal 5
Node find_replace allows you to do global find/replace in nodes, cck nodes, and blocks.
I originally wrote it to change urls globally in existing content when moving a site.

Node_Find_Replace saves a history of everything that is changed allowing for undo/redo of find replaces.
Only fields that changed are un-done and re-done more like a backup/restore than a re-replace/reverse-replace as that could cause a mess.

Drupal back for another round of Google Summer of Code 2008!

Google Summer of Code

Earlier today, Google announced their list of selected Google Summer of Code 2008 mentoring organizations, and we are pleased to inform the community that we have been selected once again. This will mark the Drupal project's fourth year of participation in this important program, which provides a great opportunity for the Drupal community to bring in talented new contributors, award existing long-term contributors, and get some exciting new coding projects done at the same time! More information about the program is available in the Google Summer of Code FAQ and program timeline.

Some of Drupal's Summer of Code success stories include:

Aron Novak Aron Novak, a two-time Summer of Code return champion who has done tremendous work on the FeedAPI module and now works for Development Seed. Fabiano Sant'Ana (wundo) Fabiano Sant'Ana (wundo), who maintains the widely-used CAPTCHA module recently started the first Brazilian Drupal shop.
Rok Žlender Rok Žlender, whose success on the SimpleTest automator led him to be one of those at the forefront of our efforts to integrate unit testing into core. He works full-time with Drupal at NowPublic. Konstantin Käfer Konstantin Käfer, also with NowPublic, continues to churn out great jQuery-enabled modules and important JavaScript core patches for Drupal.
Angela Byron Angela Byron (webchick) who is now a consultant for high-profile Drupal websites with Lullabot and is on the board of directors for the Drupal Association. Gábor Hojtsy Gábor Hojtsy, an existing Drupal contributor who was able to spend the summer doing extremely important work on i18n in Drupal core and tools for translators, and now spends his days as an engineer for Acquia.

So if you're:

  • a post-secondary student looking for an exciting project with a thriving development community and tons of smart people you can work with
  • an existing Drupal contributor who happens to be in college/university and would love a chance to get paid over the summer to work on the Next Big Drupal Thing
  • a seasoned Drupal developer with some time over the summer, who'd truly enjoy mentoring and helping the next generation of contributors make Drupal the best that it can be
  • a Drupal community member who might not have the time or coding experience to mentor, but knows where to find resources and enjoys helping others find them
  • someone with a great project idea for an improvement in Drupal that would be perfect for a student to work on over the summer

...then there's something for you in Summer of Code! Read on to find out more. :)
