0:00 0:00

Nate "quicksketch" Haug talks about the efforts that he led to get image handling into Drupal 7, which includes the Drupal 6 equivalents of filefield, imagefield and imagecache which were made possible after the foundation of CCK Fields in core went in.

Nate talks about:

  • The core development process that he went through
  • The remaining image handling tasks that got a code freeze exception
  • The input format changes and what that means for the future of WYSIWYG
  • The future of Image as nodes
  • His motivation for helping improve the user experience of Drupal
  • And the future of security in providing image handling to untrusted users.
