Getting started working on Views 2

This is a code snippet I'm using that lets me create views by hand so I can test the process of build/execute/render. I'm posting it here because the markdown syntax interferes with code on groups.drupal.org :/

DrupalCon Barcelona Thoughts

It's Sunday, and DrupalCon Barcelona ended yesterday.

It was the biggest DrupalCon ever, boasting a registration list of over 420 people and it seems likely that most all of them attended, and I know at least one person who intended to attend but was mistakenly not registered (and for whatever reason didn't just donate 50 euros and attend. I'm pretty sure they could have accommodated that).

Panels 2 Alpha 10 released

Panels 2.0, alpha 10

I added arguments to this one. There's a pretty sweeping change here, partly in that it's doing ajax outside of the main content area; partly in that I re-organized the file structure rather a lot; and partly in that I opened things up. A lot.

My brain is pretty wiped so I'm having trouble describing what I did, but in my mind it is totally full of awesome.

Remaining TODO list before I can call this a beta:

o finish argument for taxonomy
o finish content types for taxonomy
o argument for user

Providing Views Support

The views issue queue is officially Huge. It might even be *(&)ing huge at this point, but I'm not sure where the cutoff between huge and *(&)ing huge actually is. Either way, it's way, way, way beyond my control. It's like a giant yard that, no matter how much you trim, the grass always grows faster than you can grow it.

It's not like I totally ignore the queue, but to be fair, it takes a lot of time to go through some of this stuff. I just went through some 50 issues and really I've barely dented the thing.
