First up, congratulations everyone on the release of Drupal 6.0! Its a biggy - so many others have already beat me to it listing new features and pointing out some interesting reading involving the release, so I'll not repeat it all over. Here's a few links I found worth a read:

• Introductory screencast to the new features in Drupal 6
• Great overview on Raincity Studios
• Wim Leers' Overview, complete with links for further reading and a couple of screenshots
• Something I'm really looking forward to putting into practice: Theme developer module for Drupal 6

And for those who want to turn their attention to what's in store for Drupal over the next twelve months, development is now open for Drupal 7. Make sure you also take a look at Dries' State of Drupal presentation in Barcelona.

So, as we at Leafish start to play with the latest and greatest release and think about upgrading our sites, our attention shifts from core to contrib... Ooh, the excitement! There's already some early birds and there's certainly some concerns over the state of key modules like CCK, Views and Image.

Last time round for Drupal 5.x I had a whopper of a table which I didn't maintain once sepeck pointed out the fantastic effort Michelle put into a similar list on groups.drupal.org. Once again, there's a pretty comprehensive list over there: check out the Contributed modules status - 6.x page. Its a wiki page, so if you're a module maintainer or are already getting your hands dirty with Drupal 6 patches/ports get updating! And if you're not getting your hands dirty, why not?

So this time this table only contains the more important modules we use, but I hope it’ll be of use to some other peeps out there.
