I've only actually been looking at the Themers section so far and a few
things stuck out, so that's great that it really is generally more
updated than I thought.  Specifically I was looking at things like
node-content_example.tpl.php vs node-example.tpl.php (which I have since
added to that page) and the discussion of pulling an individual field is
somewhat confusing but I came across this in a forum post:


$node->content['field_whatever']['#value']
gives you a block element with labels as defined in your content type


$node->field_whatever[0]['view']
gives you an inline element with no labels


As comments get rolled into a page I normally just create an issue for
the site admins to delete them for me.  I'm certainly not going to roll
things in/edit them unless I feel they are correct, that is, if I don't
know - I'm leaving them alone. Anyway that I can help you out  with
editing please let me know since I know you are quite busy.

There are a number of comments in the CCK handbook
(http://drupal.org/modules/cck/documentation) that should be rolled in
or just deleted (support).  Notably the handbook was written during 4.7
and a number of things changed as it was incorporated into core.


I'm assigning this to myself but anyone that wants to help (especially
CCK-knowledgeable folks) feel free!

Actually I rewrote much of the handbook after the 5.x upgrade so it
should not be all that far out of date. There definitely are comments
that need to be deleted because they no longer make any sense. There are
also comments that are incorrect which should *not* be incorporated. I
was hoping to find time to get back to this, but haven't so far. I have
no ability to remove comments, so that was one thing I couldn't fix.
