Don't get me wrong - what documentation does exist is great, and thanks are given to all the contributors. What is lacking (unless I haven't found it yet) is what I consider the "hand holding" type of documents to get from zero knowledge about Drupal code to creating the average types of modules. An average module would have database tables and forms to create/update data, as well as pure content management type routines. The current Module Developers Guide is a great start. But misses some of the details that make everything "click" for a new Drupal coder.
I am so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I can't contribute to the documentation to make it better or fill in the gaps, because I don't even know what questions to ask to get the answers I'm looking for. After a while, I begin to stop asking questions, because it's obvious everyone else gets it, so it must just be that I'm a moron for not intuitively just figuring it all out. -- Jason Flatt Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 13; Cramer, 11; Travis, 9; Angela; Harry, 5; and William, 12:04 am, 12-29-2005) Linux User: http://www.sourcemage.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/
