I could certainly produce an initial piece on "Get data from a modal screen into an application," having just taught myself how to do that dance. I've created a component called a "SaveCancel" which, when added to a modal screen, allows it to return a result on Save or None on Cancel. The tricky bit, such as it is, is the callback setup and handling, but it isn't rocket science.

Have you established any timescale for this work?
