[drupal-docs] [task] Document new module submission, from CVS to project node

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/25549

OK, I think node 7765 adequately does this -- I'll mark this "closed".


I tried to find it, but looked in Module development.


Wouldn't that node (the entire tree) make more sense under Module
development -- i.e. the next step after development would be adding it
to Drupal? Why are coding standards under contributor's, but not under
Module development?


Just asking, I've been a bit out of the loop with docs, it may be that
this is part of the reorganization. IMHO, everything code related
should be in one place (a developer tree).

Are there docs on "How to add your module to drupal.org"? I couldn't
find any. This is roughly what it should cover:


1. Request a cvs-account [1]
* why use CVS?
2. Submit your module via CVS
* a logical name that doesn't conflict
* include some hints/pointers to CVS stuff
* simple walk through of steps to "your first module commit"
3. Create a project
* description of fields and what to put in them
* wait for someone to approve
* tarballs created automatically every XX hours


I don't know enough CVS-fu or about the mysteries of project module to
adequately do this.

Though there is quite a lot of information about the various topics
already present in the Contributor's guide,
http://drupal.org/contributors-guide, it could do with a
roadmap/re-organization/summary.  


Information about adding a project and using CVS is at (among other
places)  


Maintaining a project on Drupal.org: http://drupal.org/node/7765
CVS: http://drupal.org/repos
