Drupal has an extremely useful tool for allowing the user to sort tables according to a particular column. This functionality is pretty widespread- users understand it, and this makes it very simple to code.
Drupal 4.7 brought with it the Drupal Form API 1.0, which made form generation and handling much simpler.
Living in an officially bilingual country I thought that it was pretty critical for Toronto's Drupal Camp to talk a bit about Internationalization. I proposed a session, because I do think this is an important issue for the Drupal community to struggle with and also because it is important to a lot of our clients. It has been a long while since I had given a presentation of any type, let alone a one hour presentation on a topic as complex as this is.
Well I got irritated earlier today because when editing nodes, it isn't always easy to see what kind of node type you are editing. I'm not the first person who thought it would be more usable if Drupal showed the node type when editing a node.
This document describes installing and using our (still preliminary) Drupal implementation of FLOSS-Dgroups. The FLOSS-Dgroups project is an open-source version of the proprietary Dgroups.org platform. The core requirements for the project involve tying web-based forums to e-mail lists, thereby allowing discussion to take place simultaneously in both media, and enabling web users and email users to interact seamlessly. The project is described in much more detail here:

I like that locale allows you to send GET strings to it with:
I needed to deliver javascript tabs for a Drupal 4.7 site and stumbled across the Tabs module in jstools just in time. There isn't much documentation yet for the Tabs module, but I did find this useful http://drupal.org/node/62998 to get me started.
