No, I've built a module or two, and a lot of themes, but nothing 
general-purpose enough to release publicly, and certainly nothing good 
enough to have a chance of making it into Drupal core.

I've tried a number of content management systems, and went on to make 
the obligatory these-aren't-good-enough-so-I'll-make-my-own mistake 
before trying Drupal. Been saying "wow!" at regular intervals ever 
since. It's just gorgeously well-designed (after several complete 
rewrites from scratch, apparently); a real information management tool 
rather than a blog or bulletin board with delusions of grandeur. When 
the Semantic Web takes off, Drupal will be the system to beat.
