CCK in Core

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

There's a great discussion thread going on the developer list about how to move CCK to core. I thought I'd try to pull some of the ideas out here, into a wiki where people can hash over them. The ideas are flying fast and furiously and I'm sure I'm going to get some of them wrong, but heck, that's why this is a wiki. I'm going to try to pull out some of the basic concepts below, then let everyone go ahead and hack away at them.

The developers mailing list archives are at http://lists.drupal.org/archives/development.
