Or, The Project Module and the Deadly Sins of Drupal Development

Forgive me, Drupal, for I have sinned. It's been many months since my last confession.

At the Drupal Association we've set upgrading drupal.org as our top priority this year, and much of that work depends on project.*.

The Project module and kin are some of the most important pieces of drupal.org--and some of the most difficult. Six months after Drupal 6 came out, drupal.org still is still running Drupal 5, in large part because project.* is not yet upgraded.
