Easy mass deletions
Sometimes, you want to delete a whole bunch of users, terms, or nodes, say to cleanup a site while developing and still keep its configuration, so reinstalling is not really an option, and the normal content- or user-administration pages get in your way because they only show a limited number of entries, meaning you have to delete page after page of entries.
Views 2 training video from DrupalCon Paris
If you haven't been able to attend DrupalCon Paris, or missed the session I led on Views for developers there, you can find its first part on archive.org:
Module Extendr for Flickr
In case you've found Jeff Miccolis' post about the Extendr module for Flickr great, but have been bothered by the fact that the link on the blog was broken and that comments on that article were closed, the good news is that he made his code available on drupal.org too, at:
Views in Paris
In case you've been living under a rock, DrupalCon Paris is happening next week, and features, not one, but two Views Sessions, in addition to merlinofchaos' own CTools sessions on Panels 3 and CTools. One of them being, of course, by yours truly :-)

Readying for the RDF fields in core code sprint
Just in case you've been living under a rock (but then how did you find this post ?), we will be doing a code sprint next week to bring RDF fields in core for Drupal 7.
Thanks Scor for organizing this.
Drupal hiring, latest sites
Misc news this week: the latest site I've been called to work on, for the Etats Généraux de l'Outre Mer, is now online in a heated political context. Good to see our government choose Drupal in such emergency situations.
Also, I've finally updated the blog to Drupal 6. Remaining on D5 was starting to feel weird while I was busy on D6 sites for customers, and the site-specific module is even shorter than it used to be on D5. Yay!
The big news for OSInet, though, is that we're hiring again.
New SVN repository for PHP-GTK

If non-admin users can see some user accounts but not others...
After a massive user import to a customer's site, said customer noticed that, while he could see any user profile when logged, he could only see some of them when he was not logged in, receiving an "access denied" on the other accounts.
Now, with the administer users
permission, a user can see any profile, so this didn't come into consideration, but since anonymous users could see some profiles and not others, the permissions granting anonymous access to the profiles were obviously set up correctly. So what could be wrong ?
