I'm a DNN newbie and, while I'm just learning my around the software, I really like what I see so far.

I've been able to download an installer for an add-on project from this site  (Blog, for example) and add that project to my portal just fine. Works like a charm.

I've also gone through a tutorial to create a simple 'hello world' module and add that to my project. Ok so far.

But I'm not quite sure what steps to take if I want to download the source for a project on this site and be able to add that project to my portal.

Is there a resource that explains how to do exactly this?

Thanks.

Sorry for being dense but I don't even know what a PA is.

If I unzip the zip files that I downloaded (source/installer) into a new directory in the DesktopModules directory what next? Do I need to compile it and create some sort of installer file? Add it to my site using the 'upload new module' feature? Use the 'add new module definition' feature? If I use the latter then there are a number of things that I'm prompted for such as controller class, definition and controls that I'm not sure of.

Again, I'm sure this is easy once I do it once but I haven't seen any instructions on how to download the source code for a new module and to then add that module to my site.

Thanks for any help!
