Excellent idea !

And I think syncing with eZ engineering team, both on the dev and doc side might be inteesting.

Joining forces for a better coverage of this important strength of eZ Publish would be brillant !

Oh please! I urgently need to develop a custom datatype and have realised what pain this can be. You are absolutely right about the lack of suitable tutorials. I'm really looking forward to reading your tutorial Jerome.
