Audrey Foo: CVSing back your drupal site. -
The benefits of using source control are great. It is like working with another developer, to review your code changes, even if you are all by yourself, not to mention being able to rollback any changes that you have made.

Earl Miles has announced the first beta of Panels Everywhere. I'll let Earl tell you about it ., but it lets you use panels for all of the blocks and other design elements of your web site.
Earl Miles: Panels 3.0 / CTools 1.0 release imminent! Translators wanted! -
This is a call to translators. If you're interested in translating Panels and or CTools, I am going to do a full release by the middle of next week. Any translation work you want to go out with this release should be checked into CVS by then!
This is a new module, and it is mondo cool, letting you have vastly more control over the rendering of CCK nodes on your web site. Let's have the module developers show it off for you!
