I notice that the file node_example.module on http://api.drupal.org/api/file/developer/examples/node_example.module has not been upgraded to show how to use the schema api.

I am interested in updating this page, which has been so helpful to me, to include a hook_schema implementation and some drupal_write_record calls.

I did the initial update just to figure out how the schema stuff works and at that point I don't think drupal_write_record() had been committed. Help with the documentation is always welcome so feel free to dig in.

How and where is this documentation stored? What is the best way for me to make my proposed changes so they can be reviewed by the community and maintainer?

The documentation is stored in the contrib CVS repository. You can browse it via the web here: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/docs/developer/ To check it out code you can follow the directions here: http://drupal.org/node/321 If you've got a Drupal CVS account you can make any changes you'd like... but the preferred workflow (that I'm totally guilty of not following) is to create an issue discussing the changes you like to make in the documentation issue queue: http://drupal.org/project/issues/documentation Post a patch of your changes so any interested parties can review it... give it a day or two and if there's no response and you're confident in your changes you can go ahead and commit them. Make note of the issue number in your commit message so that if a few months down the line someone's trying to figure out what your were thinking with your changes they've got a place to go read more and leave comments. Now if only I could figure out where to stick this write in the drupal.org handbooks.... andrew
