I was also reading the informative tutorial by theCat and translated to english by hsalazar, a PDF file which actually mentions that the various files required for a 'blank module' are attached to the document - although sadly they are not.
I think it would be an excellent starting point for would-be XOOPS developers like myself to have a 'blank XOOPS module' that functions out-of-the box... so that you can install it and use it straight away, even if it is just a module that says 'Hello World!' when you turn its block on.
Personally I am trying to create a module so that I can break up content using the DHINFO module - I have four content blocks, and I want to show them in two separate screens of two blocks, as left-hand and right-hand columns - if I had two ' blank modules' that I could point the DHINFO Blocksadmin at, I'd be laughing.
Instead my relative noobness with xoops, and time constraints making it difficult to pick apart existing modules, mean I'm relegated to featuring my blocks one at a time.
I'd really be interested in helping to document a blank module though, from a beginners point of view, to ensure that the documentation and blank module are accessible to those of us who haven't spent a lot of time in the guts of xoops.
