Looking for a comaintainer

I'm looking for a co maintainer for Menu Restricter. It's a bad timing as the project just started but my involvement in it isn't new. The project home page list the priorities but here's some off my head : give the project it's final or near-final form before we migrate it to Drupal 6.

Menu Restricter introduction

I'm finally out of the closet ! Not the gay one, the Drupal module contributer one. ;)

It saddens me that my first project Menu Restricter is a fork but I didn't feel comfortable to contribute in a restrictive environment as it's one of the thing I love about Drupal : there's a lot of module to choose from the great (moving slowly to the core) to the average to the plain ugly. Also parts of great projects are not so and that's why they're in the contrib section.

It is good practice to provide a comment describing what a file does at the start of it. For example:

Warning

Here's the drawback from not paying attention to the following warning:

Operations on Unicode strings are emulated on a best-effort basis. Install the PHP mbstring extension for improved Unicode support.

CCK

in

I just made the Free Images section with the use of Drupals Content Construction Kit (CCK) and Views.

CCK is pretty intuitive and pretty detailed and with a few CCK-related modules, it can do pretty much everything you want ! Although I had to go through more than a few bugs, most of them had easy workaround and as I have a community spirit, I submitted those issues as well as their workaround.

Check your directory

One thing to keep in mind with patching contributed modules/themes vs. core patches is that not everyone puts contribs in the same location. So you should to do the diff from within the module's/theme's root directory rather than Drupal root.
