I am happy to announce quotes.module a module that displays a block containing a random quote. Quotes can be added one at a time or mass-imported. They can also be edited and deleted as needed.

I am sure it would be possible to arrange a Master Class for Drupal as well, as they are open to suggestions of what to present in these Master Class tutorials.
