Building Fast and Flexible Application UIs with Entity Operations

Now I've finished the Big Monster Project of Doom that I've been on the last two years, I can talk more about some of the code that I wrote for it. I can also say what it was: it was a web application for activists to canvass the public for a certain recent national referendum (I'll let you guess which one).

One of the major modules I wrote was Entity Operations module. What began as a means to avoid repeating the same code each time I needed a new entity type soon became the workhorse for the whole application UI.

Using Human Queue Worker to process comments

Some time ago, I released Human Queue Worker, a module that takes the concept of the Drupal Queue system, but where the processing of the items is done by human users rather than an automated process. I say 'takes the concept'; it in fact uses the Drupal Queue to create and claim queue items, but instead of declaring your queue with hook_cron_queue_info(), you declare it to Human Queue Worker as a queue that humans will be working on.
