I've been regularly chatting to mizmo on IRC for the past few nights and we came to the conclusion an additional couple of modules would be useful (both for usability purposes and functionality).
I realise we're bumping up very close to deadlines etc, and I'm not sure what the effort in packaging new modules would be at this stage. So, I think we need to treat these as optional-but-very-desirable.
The two are
Feeds - for displaying RSS feeds in sideblocks or on separate pages. This is a very simple module URL: http://community.zikula.org/module-Extensions-display-ot-component-component id-28.htm Source: http://code.zikula.org/parked/browser/trunk/interesting/CategoryModules/Feed s/Core-12
PageMaster - for custom content types (this is especially useful for the events postings, though we may yet come up with a better solution for these...) URL: http://community.zikula.org/module-Extensions-display-ot-component-component id-99.htm Source: http://code.zikula.org/pagemaster/browser/trunk/modules/pagemaster
As far as I know, neither have bundled libraries.

+1 on this.
Our deployment schedule for FI is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight#Schedule. If someone would like to run with these packages adn get them made, reviewed, and on publictest and from there to staging by September 20, that would be awesome and I will love you forever. However, they are not on critical path for FI going live for F12.
(They probably will be for F13, though, because they will allow us to have an actual translation workflow.)

We would need them earlier though, because the theming depends on the modules. E.g. right now the theme templates I'm writing depend heavily on the news module and the themes would have to change if we use different modules for different widgets on the page :-/

Do we have someone who can package them tonight? I can do a review for licensing and bundling which would allow us to copy the package to the Fedora Infrastructure repo until they are in Fedora and EPEL. If we don't even have someone who can get them packaged up then it sounds like it's a bit late for hitting F12.

Marketing folks:
We need packaging (or packager-recruiting) help. I'm going to be traveling in some way for the next 12 hours, but in that time we need to find someone to do two simple packages (it looks like they'll be extremely fast for an experienced packager, and Toshio stands ready to review them tonight whenever they are ready).
We need the two modules listed at http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2009-August/000185.html for Fedora Insight, preferably within the next 24 hours. We need these packages in order to have RSS feeds and events blocks on the F12 deployment of FI.
Can anyone package or help find someone who can package?
Thanks!
