To program you have to crawl on your belly through a maze in a dark mine shaft memorizing all the turns until you find the problem, grope at it with your hands until you understand what's broken, back out slowly, and get the tool to fix it. Then you have to remember how you crawled in there to begin with.

Stefan brought up the desirability of defined XML schemas for Drupal configuration, and the niceness of autocomplete XML-aware editors could then provide.

There is some conflict though, we think, between auto-generating and hand-editing XML (or any other) configuration files; changes should come from one source.

Hooks in Drupal are a way of triggering code to run based on naming convention.

We made a module for that.

Note that it is happily not a What You See Is What You Get attempt; it is an aid to putting in HTML / xhtml markup.

This is especially of interest if http://drupal.org/project/bueditor does not get integrated with WYSIWYG API: http://drupal.org/node/429684
