		<description><![CDATA[Usually I don&#8217;t like blog-posts titled like this one. However, recently I came across some small but potentially very useful new modules which you probably don&#8217;t know about yet (most of them are from around April/May 2010) and which I would like to highlight a bit. One word of warning though: most of them don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
