Our first module is "Quick type". It helps quickly create content types and CCK fields for it, which are already exist and new ones, has import and export ability from XML.
Why we started to develop this module?
During the development of complicated project (online-shop) which have a lot of CCK fields and content types (around 40 fields in one content type) we met the problem with filling out them. And we got an idea to develop this module which helps us to save a lot of time. Also, we have an ability to import from XML file. We want to create export ability that will help to transport data between different projects in future.
Also we'd like to help resolve issues for different contribution modules by helping community.

avpadernoHello, and thanks for applying for a CVS account.
As per requirements, the motivation should be expanded to contain a list of the module features, and a comparison with the existing solutions.

tak.marko commentedQuick type motivation message:
The main page of Quick type module (admin/content/quick_type) have one default tab 'Content types' and two more tabs 'Export' and 'Import'.
Tab 'Content types' - is a page where we may see all content types and manage them (edit, delete, manage fields) like in admin/content/types but with one difference: form to add new content type (in admin/content/types need to push 'add content type' and reload page).
Page manage fields (admin/content/quick_type/edit_ct/%) contains list of all CCK field and form to add existing or create new one fields, after adding new field we don't have a page reloading so we can create more fields and only when push 'Save' page is reloading and saves all content.
Tab 'Export' - is a page that presents list of all content types with possibility of choice which one you'd like to export or you may choose top checkbox to choose all.
Tab 'Import' - is a page, where you may upload XML-file which contains data about nodes and fields to import. Also this page has an example of file content.

dave reidAMgrade, could you explain the differences between this and the 'Content Copy' sub-module included with CCK which is already a widely-supported community solution for exporting and importing content types?
