I know I didn't really begin to grok Drupal until I began developing modules.  
It still took me a few mods before I had a good understanding of what I was 
doing. :-)  While there are tutorials in the handbooks, such as node_example, 
frankly none of them go far enough or deep enough.  Really good deep but 
clear multi-pass tutorials are incredibly useful, but Drupal isn't there, 
yet.

I believe I've the writing skills to do such a writeup, but I don't know that 
I truly grok Drupal well enough to get it right.  My day job is also not 
Drupal related, sadly, so I don't have much time to devote to it. :-(  At 
some point I want to give it a shot, though.  I'll probably be trolling 
#Drupal when I do so to make sure I'm not saying something incredibly stupid.

of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
