What are best practices for adding Sharepoint Fields,ContentTypes,Lists, etc.?

Question

For our application, when the site gets installed, it creates a bunch of different fields, lists, content types, etc., etc. There are a lot of dependencies to manage there, and I'm wondering how others go about this, from an OOD perspective.

Answer 1

We use feature stapling to do this kind of work. For more detail information (and reference application) checkout the Microsoft SharePoint Patterns and Practices.
