My First Drupal Module: Talk Like a Pirate
Those reading our posts at the Bryght company weblog today might think we've stayed up a few too many late nights. Either that, or you already know it's Talk Like a Pirate Day, which means a lot of "yarr" and "matey" being spoken around the office. It speaks to the quality of the Drupal code-base and the developer documentation, our development process and open source development process that someone like me with an intermediate level of PHP coding experience can contribute to the Drupal project.
The day's almost over, and as coded, the filter should revert anything that appears as if it's in "pirate" back to its original contemporary English. For next year, though, check out the module and since I'm the official maintainer of the module (it's a side-product, since "I'm not a Drupal developer"), send in those bug reports and feature requests!
Thanks go out to Dougal Campbell for the regular expression heavy lifting, my Bryght colleague James Walker for the code cleanup, and Jonas Luster for the original idea and implementation for Drupal.
