  Is there still an "example" module for Zikula? I might be training a coder soon...

  You should look at modulestudio.de - Modulestudio a) should be the tool of choice for creating custom modules and b) generates quasi example modules.
  
  In the core SVN are example modules anyway

  I would love to. A Windows version hasn't been updated in almost a year and half. I'm sure things have changed since then. Very frustrating, I've been watching for it for some time...

  Ditto what Bronto said. I can't get the current windows version to work on my system. I may try one more time, because I've rebuilt my system from the ground up since the last try, but it didn't work in Linux or Windows on my previous box, nor did it work on my wife's system.

  Every post I've seen here asking for an Example/HowTo module winds up with a few people singing the praises of ModuleStudio. Why? I've been awaiting this program for a while, the latest linux version apparently doesn't generate properly (and I can't even get it running on Ubuntu or Fedora), the older version is over 1.5 years old.
  
  While I love the idea of ModuleStudio, I think it's irresponsible recommending it in it's current preview state. ModuleStudio is (hopefully) the future of Zikula module authoring, but I don't see how it's recommended for beginners at this time.

  PS. I mean no offence to Guite and I know he has greater priorities and resposibilites than making me happy, I'd be willing to pay for a working and complete version (when it comes out). I just take exception to the view that it's in a finished and usable state for Zikula newcomers.

  Yeah, I know that problem
  
  During 2008 I had to primarily focus core development and the extension database. Also I worked out a comprehensive business plan for ModuleStudio. So basically MOST is not forgotten (it is even my personal favourite project), there is simply many other stuff to do in addition.

  For the Example modules in the SVN; what dir should one use as a basis for a Zikula 1.x module?
  
  There is e.g. http://code.zikula.o…er/Misc/Tutorial-9x
  
  and
  
  http://code.zikula.o…er/Misc/Tutorial-8x

  There's a blank module floating around somewhere... it's in the Cozi here. https://code.zikula.….1.1/modules/blank/
  
  I believe I checked it out anonymously. That's the old SVN tho, the proper Cozi link is here. http://code.zikula.o…1.1.1/modules/blank

  IIRC from rgasch, on http://code.zikula.org/core/browser/Misc/Tutorial-8x you could use:
  - ExampleDB for learning using DBUtil
  - ExampleObj for learning the object library (ObjectUtil)
  
  For an example what to do with categories, one could use the Quotes module from http://code.zikula.org/core/browser/branches/zikula-1.1/modules
  
  And, of course, all other existing Zikula-compatible modules...
  
  But correct me if I'm wrong...

  I usually start with an exisiting module that is close in DB Structure to what I need and build from there. Tweetz I'm building off of the Admin Message module, since it's the closest to what I want for base function. For the IngredientDB component of my Culinary Suite I'm starting from the FAQ module, because it's the closest DB Structure to what I want for it.

  The blank module is not that suited, since it doesn't contain actual content and is not made as an example module. A lot of things are missing there
  
  I think I also used ExampleDB in the past for one of my modules, but not sure any more
