Since last Friday there has been a lot of stuff that has happened in my little world. I can't explain everything yet but I will soon.

For now I can tell you that I am now the maintainer of Drupal E-Commerce. This is going to be a lot of work, as I need to get it ready fro Drupal 4.7, and make the changes to support the formsapi.

There is 31 modules that need to be converted as quickly as possible so we can start testing. Drupal 4.7 is going to be one of the biggest jumps in functionality that Drupal has seen in quite a while. With all the new autocomplete, free tagging, and a lot of speedups and api changes it is quite hard for module maintainers to keep up.

I have also been looking though some of ecommerce an I think there is some other things that need to be consolidated or are now obsolete and can be done with drupal core commands now.  

I am going to be looking at the store module in ecommerce this weekend and hopefully this will help kick start other people working on other module so we can get this completed.

Lastly my little module filestore2, also needs upgrading, and as soon as I can I will update it to use the formsapi.

Watch this space for more information.

I have been quite busy with some work laterly, but I was muching around with acidfree which looks like a cool (if I can every get the bloody thing to work), and noticed that it was linked with a module called filemanager. Now filemanager from my brief look, seems to do everything that I want fscache to do and more.

So with a bit more playing and I think that I am going to change filestore2 to use filemanager instead of fscache. I need to do a lot of work on both filestore2 and fscache to bring it upto scratch for Drupal 4.7, but with a few minor changes I should be able to link it into filemanager and leave fscache behind.

If all goes well I may even do this for 4.6 and backport filestore2.

At this stage it is going to be a few weeks, and I am hoping to catch on some of my projects during the Christmas break, which will be fun.
