" The Filter Default module allows you to assign a default input format for new nodes and comments for each role on your site. It adds a 'Defaults' tab to the Administer > Site configuration > Input formats page on which you can manage the assignments. Note: This functionality will be built into Drupal 7, so Filter Default will not be maintained beyond Drupal 6. Also, Drupal 6 users should take a look at Better Formats module, which covers more ground than Filter Default. Whenever a new node or comment is being created, each text input box with multiple allowed input formats is initially configured based on the settings for the user's roles. The user's lowest-weighted role (as defined on the settings page) that the user posseses is used. For a user that does not have any role indicated in the table, the default input format will be the one selected on the Input formats > List page. This module has no effect on which input formats any user is allowed to use. It merely sets initially selected input format when there are multiple choices. For example, suppose you have roles 'author' and 'admin' on your site in addition to the standard 'anonymous user' and 'authenticated user' and that your input formats defaults table looks like this:"

A small distribution in development to install Drupal with user interface translations pulled automatically from localize.drupal.org.

I used this howto for setting up Tomcat to provide the Solr service while using the out of the box Tomcat6 from the normal Ubuntu channels. I'm using Jaunty. I've highlighted a couple of things in the process.

This module allows you to specify content type(s) as being a block. This allows the content managers of the site to edit the block text and title without having to access the block administration page. Users only need edit access to that node in order to edit it. It is very handy to create a simple block content type and enable this content type for blocks and use these in place of the normal 'add block' functionality. Now supports translatable content In the 6.x-dev version, if Content Translation is enabled, then only a single node block per translation set is exposed and the node from the translation set with the appropriate language is loaded into the block.

"If you are new to drupal, then this list is for you. These are some of the best of the best drupal modules. Everything from standard framework modules, to location and mapping is covered. Note that if you've been emersed in drupal for some time, than this will be "old news"."
