Question

How to create a new extension in typo3 6? Is the kickstarter extension compatible with typo3 6?

Answer 1

You can use the extension "extension_builder". It generates (skeletons for) extbase/fluid based extensions and is compatible with TYPO3 6.0 (Makes even use of namespaces in generated extensions, which were only introduced in 6.0).

If you want to build fluid/exbase extensions, you should read this book to get familiar with these extensions. In german it is also available as paperback.

I'm not sure the "kickstarter" extension still works, but its last update is a maintainance release to make it work in TYPO3 v4.6, so there is a good chance it does.
