Where to start? What are the non-negotiables of creating a custom module?

i'm interested in making a stripped-down version of the springboard, and i anticipate no database changes at all. i'd like to make a copy of the springboard, and start deleting lines of code. But how do i give this new module a new name, assign it an icon, and integrate it into Copper? Any bits of information are appreciated- thanks!

Hi Shannon,

Realistically you'd want intermediate PHP skills to implement a new module, but someone might like to chime in here with modules they've created?

Thanks Ben. i'm ready to go with nearly intermediate PHP skills. i guess i'm trying to avoid exploring the code to figure a couple things out- most importantly how a module is defined within Copper, so that i might define a new one that it would recognize.
