i've started development of the node relations module, i called it nodefamily module. As the module might be useful not only for profile nodes, I've written it generally, so that it may be used without nodeprofiles at all.

i started with the development of the usernode module, which cares for creating/deleting a node, whenever users are added/deleted - so other modules can rely on that a node exists for each user. it already does its job, however the views integration is still missing.

As i noted in the proposal I need a node relationship, which offers views integration. The views integration I 've in mind is that it's not only possible to display a link to a related node in a view, like it is with CCK node relations, instead it should be possible to list concrete data (e.g. CCK fields) of the related node.

I noted that I've not published a project schedule yet, so here it is:

1. Planning, until end of June

2. Development phase, until the beginning of August

With the beginning of July my current (university) term ends and so I'll be able to concentrate on reaching my goals by producing the code. With the end of this phase the project shall be mostly completed.

I've just created a project page on drupal.org: link I decided to call the project: nodeprofile -fago
