This "HostingPlans" module has to be a pretty good example of the what a skeleton mod can be.
What would be really cool is if there was a mod that could help you to make mods!
1) (easier) A form that would have the xoops_version.php code sample in a text area, MySQL sample text in another text area, etc with pop ups or overlays (or what ever) to guide you through the important considerations of each
- Then, A) (easier) Display the code that should be in each file. or B) (better) - make the files / compile the package.
2)(Best) A comment-laced form that asks questions, offers relevant options, asks for information, accepts files and personalized variables, offers to make it duplicatable etc, and then builds the package from it.
Something like that would really need to be the pet of a modder with god status, but it seems as though it would be possible.
I'll bet that the vast majority of people that use XOOPS are very similar in regards to working with lots of the other worthy Sourceforge projects and commercial PHP and CGI but never coding their own, - Just finding the code that calls what they want and making it their own.
PS. - I know that I downloaded a sample / empty skeleton module offered on a site that I was at, I'll try to find the references.
