I'm at the Drupal and Multimedia session at DrupalCamp NYC 5 and they were briefly going over the modules that there are (a) there are a lot and (b) there's usually several ways to do something. One thing they pointed out was that by Drupal 7, the plan is for image module and imagefield module to merge. Great, this will cut down on redundancy and it will give site-builders a clear solution that will hopefully do everything they need it to do.
I also think that MAQUM should be migrated to imagefield and a lot of the metadata should be shoved into a CCK field.
This weekend I went to the fourth annual DrupalCampNYC. The last one I went to was two years ago.
I couldn't make it on Saturday but was able to get there on Sunday. I meant to take photos, but didn't, but there's already a set on Flickr in case you missed any of the neat sessions. The only one I missed that I really wanted to see was the DruTube session because I got there an hour late.
