Announcing release of Draft 6.1.6
April 20, 2009 - Darren FergusonThis release fixes a bug; when creating a new content type, the system would try and retrieve the content type’s columns, even though the content type did not yet exist, and fail because of this. One new feature to this module is the hook_draft() implementation. With the new hook, JavaScript information in forms, such as Ajax-built fields in a content creation page, can now be saved and recalled in a draft.

Context Help Module Update
April 20, 2009 - Darren FergusonI released Context Help beta 1 on Drupal.org for around a week to see what issues would appear. At the same time, the module went through our internal quality control to prepare it for inclusion in our release trunk.
Context Help module beta release
April 6, 2009 - Darren FergusonWe needed to display help content on different pages of a Drupal instance, and available solutions did not meet our needs for content management and node association. From this need, Context Help module was born. We originally had a Drupal 4.7 version, but it was not very scalable and became annoying to the users who did not like the “tooltip pop-up” format we had used.
Draft module update released
March 30, 2009 - Darren FergusonAfter a lot of time working on another program, I’ve finally been able to devote some energy to the Draft Module that I created and currently maintain on the Drupal Web framework.
The main feature requested for Draft module was a PHP page view instead of forcing the use of Views module. While on my hiatus from Drupal, I brainstormed how to make the PHP version of the page as functional and easy to use as the Views version of the module, as well as allowing the administrator to alter columns.
XMPPFramework Future Improvements
March 5, 2009 - Darren FergusonXMPPFramework version 1 was a cluster of modules designed to provide XMPP functionality to the Drupal platform. The module cluster was originally designed as just one module: XMPPClient. This module was designed to provide a Thin Web Client tightly associated with Drupal so that users could launch it from their Drupal instance without having to enter their password or install any third-party applications onto their machine/device.
Draft Module Future Improvements
March 4, 2009 - Darren FergusonA lot of people have been asking about the Draft module and when more updates will be incorporated into the module. For the last four months I have been working on non-Drupal projects, but am back and want to post a quick update answering some of the most common questions.
Draft version 1 for Drupal 6 incorporated support for Views in the place of a standard PHP page listing for user drafts. The module was very compact and the database table was small utilizing the bare minimum of fields (Draft ID, Node Type, UID, Updated and Data where data was a serialized array).
