What're you crazy!? Haven't you ever heard of the CCK module? Yes, it's true CCK coupled with views will allow one to create, manipulate and display custom content. Combined with hook_nodeapi, the cck/views combo is can be extremely powerful and flexible. 99% of the time these two modules are sufficient to handle the job of building and managing custom content.

First day of DrupalCon SF is in the bag, and wow.  What a day!   This is the largest assembly of Drupal Geeks ever, and it's incredibly exciting to see so many people in the tribe. I missed the first session, which was a good thing, as I got some distressing family news that kept me mostly awake for the much of the second half of what would have been a good night's rest.  I went to the Open Atrium demo session, and was duly impressed with the functionality and ease of its use.
