this was my first question as I read the module description at http://drupal.org/node/67803
and my second question in mind was "for what do we have cck?"
but then I read the readme
The idea of this module is to be kind of 'transitional' tool, and implement some of the features that hopefully will be in the next Drupal version.
and
This is completely based on JonBob's CCK and Negiesy Karoly -chx- previous work, which means all of the ideas and most of the code have been just 'copied&pasted'.
And also, on this thread, http://drupal.org/node/62340 [Pave the way for CCK].
maybe you should post this on the module description, too
and clarify this a little bit more for people who dont track the drupal development day-by-day...
btw.
maybe I'm false but
at contento_admin_type_delete() you write drupal_goto('admin/settings/content-types');
wouldnt be return 'admin/settings/content-types'; better?
But as I said I know that we replaced drupal_goto() in FAPI with return but I dont know if it was there...

Well, I think the module description is simple enough:
This module will allow any number of new simple, story like, content -node- types.
You mean this is not understandable? Sorry but I'm not sure I understand...
#2
I must say I still don't get it - not only because the description doesn't tell almost anything about this module (different node types are, according to my knowledge, allowed also without this module, or?), but also because CKK and -chx- doesn't mean anything to me... So, what is the purpose of this module? I mean, if we already have a story type node (and we do), why would we need a tool to create another such type on node? Or, how should this node be better than a story one?
So, is it the more useful node type we get with this module (and more useful about what?), or is it the process of creation of a new node type that is more simple with the utilization of this module (or something like that)? Or, something else?
#3
the aim of this module is to replace node-types like story and page
as you know a lot of people ask "we have two node types by default, story and page. But whats the difference?"
You were not able to change the description at /node/add/, the name and so furth..
the reason why they exist is because we had no chance yet to define in a flexible way new simple content types.
This will change in drupal 4.8. The aim is to replace these old content type by a framework which allows YOU to define new content types for all your needs.
I will use this module in my next projects - and want define the following content types:
"Newsentry"
the same as story, just for the newsstory at the main page, the help messages will be modified so that every user understands what they mean.
"Static Page"
for pages that really do not change... like page was, but with a better name
and a few more if needed
