-- SUMMARY --
The References project contains straight ports of the node_reference and
user_reference modules to the Drupal 7 API.
For a full description of the module, visit the project page:
http://drupal.org/project/references
-- REQUIREMENTS --
None.
CCK for Drupal 7 is /not/ a requirement for these modules.
-- GOALS AND LIMITATIONS --
It is not envisioned as a final solution, but as a way to actually deploy
Drupal 7 from release day on sites using node and user references much as on
Drupal 6, until a native entity relationships Drupal 7 module becomes a usable
alternative.
As of 2010-11-30, is looks like a candidate for that usable alternative might
someday be project Relation:
http://drupal.org/project/relation
In short: use these modules now, but be ready to migrate to a different entity
referencing solution during the D7 life cycle.
