For the purposes of what you are doing, it may be less of a jump to simply follow Dave Hunter's tutorial you had a link to for now. But I would strongly recommend SPSource as it does more than just Content Type reverse engineering.

You can create a Solution Package using VSeWSS, WSPBuilder or STSDev and just hook SPSource into it. That way you can then simply deploy the content types using Solution Packages to each environment. There is more information here on this (granted its light on for now...but the community would appreciate any contributions): http://www.sharepointdevwiki.com/display/public/ContentType From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 10:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Content Type feature Hi all, Having spent copious amounts of time developing and modifying content types in dev, I'd now like to move them to production. It seems there is no simple OOTB way to achieve this without redeploying the entire site collection. The following look very promising. Does anyone have any experience with this approach, or recommend another that doesn't involve cutting XML or CAML by hand?
