Frothy intro to Drupal 6

Very important to note that in D6 you need to use &$form_state as the first argument in the actual form function, else it won't work. Documentation on this point is thin.

Sugar is the desktop environment that is used for the "One Laptop per Child" (OLPC) netbooks. It can also be installed on normal computers and even run off of a USB stick (which should have at least 1GB of size). This guide shows how you can install Sugar (the Strawberry release which is based on Fedora 11) on a USB stick.

Limits the comments number per node per user. For instance, you can set that you want to allow only 3 comments per user for story node type.
You can select on which node types the limit will apply.

Allow administrators to optionally define Terms & Conditions for each Organic Group, and require that users agree to these conditions in order to access group content.

Query-Based Views (Q-Views) provides the Views-like functionality of generating reports or content feeds, but starts the process with a raw SQL query. In Views, the query is constructed through setting up configuration, but in Q-Views you supply the query directly. This can be a more rapid, reasonable solution in some situations. Q-Views is very AJAX-y by default, with ajax-based pagination and searching, which also means rapid browsing through data. Views is much more mature, so it's encouraged that you use Views when you can, but Q-Views can provide a lot of functionality with low configuration overhead when you would normally build a feed or report outside of Views.

Allows the autocomplete field in "authoring information" to use values other than usernames.

Views Integration for Support tickets, created by the Support module.

This module allows you to create nodes within a CCK node reference field, and edit and delete them in place. Fields from the referenced node are displayed as the node reference field widget; if you are using a multi-value node reference field, this allows you to "add another item" and use the referenced nodes as a repeatable fieldset. Inline Nodereferences can help you separate pieces of your data model that are not necessarily conceptually separate for your end users.

This module modifies the standard node edit form to support working with multiple menu links. The core Drupal behavior is to only care about a single menu link, and all other menu links must be created manually by editing the menu itself.

Simplenews Register gives the user an option of subscribing to a newsletter when they register for the site. This module adds the user registration form the the Simplenews block for the newsletter given the following conditions:
