for xnews, that would be nice to add
- an option "hide publishing date" as we have "hide the author". For permanent content (pages), date is not necessary and make your content old for your visitors with time ! Also if we add an option "hide counter view", that would save a lot of space in category pages (one line for each article if we hide date, author and counter : it would be great for use it as content/page module)
- an option to add a picture to an article, with a thumbmail in category page (with the option right/left display). In fact we have it for catergory image right now, but that would be great by article

If you want other development ideas for other modules, let me know : i have so much ;)
There are a lot of old very good modules needed updates : adresses+googlehack; evennews; videotube; xplorer and also more recent ones : slideshow (missing target management); liaise (missing recipient at user level and not group);...

Have a nice vacations !

That's great that you want to work on xNews.

I hope, many other developers will join and we'll have a great teamwork on this and a stable version very soon!

I'll be glad to help as well

Fully agree to rename xnews by news... as it's still time (very few differences between both modules) !

That would avoid
- confusion
- 2 parallel development for a same module. It's better to concentrate on 1 good module :)

Re: Teamwork on xnews and solve problems

Two problems:
- plugin for pdf detection does not work and breaks article layout (see into article.php)
- there is a matter with highlight keywords feature, a blank page if I well remember

One request : could you add these 3 plugins into an /extra folder ?

Re: Teamwork on xnews and solve problems

I only tested RSSFit and Sitemap plugins, with a cloned version.
But first I've cloned xNews and then edited manually the two plugins.
