While still a slightly slow month, September saw a slight increase in our contribution efforts over August.
Client sponsored
We were very pleased to have several clients look to make improvements in modules their sites use:
- Nathan James contributed several improvements to the Alt Login Page module, making it much more useful.
- In the constant battle against spam, I worked on a patch to automatically enable the CAPTCHA module for all Webform nodes.
- Metatag received i18n improvements, a new token for outputting the current pager, new meta tags and a bunch more tests to help its stability.
Self-directed contributions
While still down a bit over earlier in the year, we had just over forty-five hours of self-directed contributions for the month. Some of our primary achievements were:
- Bob Kepford ported his ShowMeYourEmail module to Drupal 7 and 8.
- Bob also worked on a patch to fix a bug in Webform Features and started looking into the Restful module.
- Dan Polant worked on some patches to improve the SAML SP module.
- David Younker did some triage on his Instagram Social Feed module’s issue queue.
- Matt Davis met up with some people while on vacation in Greece about collaborating on a service to help with the Syrian refugee crisis.
- Michelle Cox worked on the ongoing spam problem on gdo.
- Paul McKibben updated his Entity Reference Modal Select module to Drupal 8.0.0-beta12.
- Ryan Gibson worked on improvements to the SSO Multi Domain and ShareThis modules.
- The Twitter module had some additional releases to improve its stability.
- I also worked on various issues for the Panelizer and Metatag modules.
