Unified field manager

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I think a central field management module would benefit many other modules. Currently CCK allows adding custom fields for a content type. It's not very easy to re-use these fields with a custom module.

For the same if a module could provide a central field manager, and other modules can utilise these fields by way of some API, that would be great.

Have you reviewed the Drupal 7 Field API

'Cos it sounds like just what you wanted. And, writing that was certainly more than one GSoC project...

Haven't checked D7 Field API

Hi chx,

I haven't checked the Field API, but yes, I think that's what I want. If you think it's more than 3 months of work, no need for anyone to take it up for GSOC.

Although anyone can take it up otherwise!
