FormAPI

With the interest expressed by Dojo members and the wider Drupal community in this project, we're moving forward. This wiki page is open to anyone to update as the project progresses. Feel free to leave comments as well.

Project Outline
One of the things mentioned by Dries in his "State of the Drupal" talk at OSCMS (watch the video here) was how nice it would be if book.module would turn into a more generic outline functionality, rather than being semi-attached to a specific node type. We're going to take on this task.

Project Deadline
The Drupal 6.0 code-freeze is on June 1st, meaning we need to have all features done by then, as only bugfixes are allowed beyond that point.

Issue Queue
We will be organizing by using Drupal.org's issue queue. Here is a direct link for the book component.

[see attached file pastebin.txt, with all the coded versions of dojo.module]

NodeAPI Sunday!

Well, this is "the day after the night before" of Drupal's 6th birthday marking the release of Drupal 5.0 stable release, so... in honor of this the first thing to do is to update your sandbox development lesson playground sites to Drupal 5.0! (Just follow the all-new instructions in UPGRADE.txt).

Complete Class Notes of First Lesson: read on, but also, type on, and execute on, till the end!

[Note: all code examples tested and run as advertised on my own test installation. Everyone should do exactly the same, so we are all on the same page, and can at some point even feel right at home doing patch reviews!!!]

An hour and a half screencap of the 1st lesson is also available (warning 90mb download). NOTE: link currently offline - will update this page when I find a good copy. Full transcript below the jump.
