Module development and code questions

Hopefully I can get across what it is I want, then maybe someone can point me (a newbie in Drupal development) in the right direction with tips / experience.

Ok, I will use an example to illustrate what I want. First, lets start with a snippet of legislation I'm getting from here:
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/009/06009.i-iv...

-------

1 The National Identity Register

(1) It shall be the duty of the Secretary of State to establish and maintain a register
of individuals (to be known as “the National Identity Register”).

(2) The purposes for which the Register is to be established and maintained are
confined to the statutory purposes.

(3) The statutory purposes are to facilitate, by the maintenance of a record of registrable
facts about individuals in the United Kingdom—

(a) The provision of a convenient method for such individuals to prove
registrable facts about themselves to others; and

(b) The provision of a secure and reliable method for registrable facts about
such individuals to be ascertained or verified wherever that is
necessary in the public interest.

----
Now I'll define what words I'll use later when i get on to what I want....

As you can see we have a peice of text, with N levels in its hierarchy(here n =3, 1... (1)... and (a)...), I'll call all of the entries at one particular level a section, so that for example section "1." here is everything I've posted from the snippet, section "1. (1)" is just the two lines, and section "1.(3)" contains the 2 lines of text AND all of (a),(b). Finally, section "1.(1).(a)" contains only the two lines...

This is a module I'd like to see happen because it would save me work and allow a sort of content sharing beyond news/blogs. I administer a lot of different local websites and many of them have similar audiences but it's a pain in the ass to go into each of them and add events. So I was thinking it would be really cool if there was a way to subscribe to events via an RSS feed or something like that so that it could automatically add events from each other the different sites to the calendar.

I have 2 Drupal sites. They are on the same machine, but use different databases. Given a user click on one site, I want to be able to create a new user (or delete an old one) on the other site.

Given the sites are based on different databases on the same machine I guess I should be able to write the SQL that selects the other site's database and issues the SQL that does the INSERT or DELETE. But I suspect there's a bit more to adding or deleting users in a Drupal DB than that.

I have over a hundred recipes that I would like to import to my Drupal site but I have no clue where to start.

Any advice would be nice. I would like to pay anyone for advice or any coding.

Thanks

Q

It would be very useful if the custom fields options in the user profile module could include an image upload field (Simular to the one in Flexinode)

Using this multiple images could be added to a users profile. This would be very useful for community applications dating and art websites e,t,c.

Unfourtunately I have no idea how to go about porgramming this, anyone got any ideas?

Add new field

Does anyone have a drupal 4.7 module skeleton the most basic module, like just printing "hello" on the screen? I would really appreciate getting a copy to get me started with a working base module.

Thanks
