Thanks, I will start trolling the IRC channels now
have started work on two module of my own, and i need a little guidance on how to start a project on the drupal site and some help answering a few miscellaneous questions.
Sure, check out api.drupal.org first.
This site has been my life line. A lot of the examples are very good, especially the howto on creating modules and new node types.
I am a student, who managed to get an internship developing drupal modules for the summer. I've talked it over with my boss and we are going to contribute all the work I do back to the community. I was

I've got a CVS account ... do I just need to log in and create a new directory to start a project? I have two modules I am currently working on. One download that simulates a permission based tree stucture for downloading (we hope to add CVS and directory syncing capabilities to this one) and the Mantis module for the integration. Both of these modules are in the very early stages, but they offer some functionality that could be improve apon.
Please take a look around and if anyone is willing to act as a mentor or wants to lend a hand you can contact me off list.
People on #drupal are usually helpful if there is a concrete, development related question. "Development" means core or contrib development, not "how do I set up my site to do this or that?". This last comment wasn't for you, though. We also have #drupal-support for the latter type of questions.
How about questions like what is the best way to accomplish functionality with X api or questions about node operations.? Support or dev? Thanks --Trevor
