Part 1: Looking for modules - is there already a module for that? 10 minutes Part 2: Contributing to an existing module - is there almost a module for that? 15 minutes Part 3: Starting a new module - 25 minutes - Considerations for writing a new module - What tools are available?

Part 2: Contributing to an existing

• Add a feature, a "Mail" option to Social Simple: https://www.drupal.org/project/social_simple/issues/2899517
• Fix bugs, example from David, https://www.drupal.org/project/comment_notify or https://www.drupal.org/project/tzfield/issues/2904016
• Upgrade to Drupal 8, example from David https://www.drupal.org/project/flatcomments

Part 3:

• A "one line" module (alter hook)
• A plugin module ("Drupal 8 hooks")
• A module that was generated with Drupal Console https://www.drupal.org/project/ckeditor_youtube/ - simple and used by many, and slowly got more complex
• A module bringing in a PHP library and getting crazy (started with simple field formatter, can use this or another module to demo that) - https://drupal.org/project/inotherwords

Potential further discussions

TODO:

* Find one line and simple plugin examples (David looking at)
* Draw useful boilerplate talking points from DGD7 (Ben looking at)
