I had a similar idea, only I am trying to make a recipe exchange module. I've done corporate in-house documentation and tutorials and online programming lessons before, but I'm new to Xoops. The kickstart "greeter" module was fine, and I've managed to modify a few module themes to please myself, but now I'm totally stuck on getting a simple form to work from scratch, using "contact" as my model. I can display the form, per the wiki documentation, but can't seem to get it to pass through Smarty as "contact" does. I'm trying to learn to walk before I try to run, and so far I'm not even crawling - but then I only heard of XOOPS for the first time a few days ago. I will be following your tutorial with great interest.
As soon as I figure out how to get forms to work in a simple demo module I'll write up a basic tutorial similar to the "greeter" module.
