Hi,

for all Drupal-newbies and starters, admins and advanced admins i want to write a book.

What topics should it cover?

Please post what you want to read about.

Thanks
Thomas

Some things I would like to see:

-Lots and lots of examples of more advanced and complex modules with explanations
-Form_alter examples along with validation and submission code
-Effective ways to use and alter the views and cck module

Good luck

You may want to read this article:
http://www.lullabot.com/articles/how_drupal_will_save_world

It really delves into the issue that most people that install Drupal have: That Drupal is written BY developers FOR developers. The average administrator may take several weeks/months to learn how to properly set up a decent website using Drupal. If you can cover even half of the issues covered in the article, that would be a great step.

I have a reasonable handle on creating modules for D5 although I occasionally run into stumbling blocks. However, D6 looks much sleeker and more advanced and I'd like a heads start on creating modules for it. Heck, maybe you should create this book for D7 since it's already in development.
