[development] Newbie announcement + starting a new meeting relatedmodule

[Mark Fredrickson]

On the subject of packaging up content types, CCK fields, views, and
other install data, check out the CRM module.. I went through a lot of
trial and error getting it to work, but I can successfully install a
fields into a content type. Views can be defined in
hook_default_views, and node types in hook_node_info (use 'node' as
the module name and you can add CCK fields).

See especially the .install file:

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/crm/crm.install?view=markup

This was the hardest part to figure out, but you can use it as a
template for adding fields to a content type, potentially of your
creation.

HTH,
