I've been looking at two interesting modules for Drupal called CCK[0]
and Views[1]. They allow you to do a lot of things without coding a
whole new module. It would require some tweaking, but maybe it would
save us a lot of work in the end.
What would you say? Would using this be better or should we code the
thing ourselves?
