I did half a proof of concept about a year ago. From what I recall, the blog post wasn't much help, so I copped a lot of it from the code within the article content type and reading through the abstract classes.

As I recall, the process was about twice as involved as I'd imagined it needed to be. The more I hacked away at it, the more I began to realize why they made certain decisions, but I don't remember if I agreed with those decisions or not.

Ultimately, I quit because there was a bit of effort involved (learning + doing) for what was essentially a proof of concept that I didn't have a use for. Didn't want to keep going on something that I wasn't going to actually use.

I'm going to start a very simple content type (stores TV program description, meta data on those shows, and a basic review) over the next few weeks. Or, at least after I get my current project off my to-do list.
