How am I supposed to make a mesh loader?

I've seen the source to about 5-6 loaders and they have almost nothing in common, so what are the steps in creating an Irrlicht mesh loader?

You implement the interface of an IMeshLoader, so it comes down to creating a method which builds an AnimatedMesh from an IReadFile. which steps are necessary in between are basically up to you, and of course due to the file format.

So I can store the AnimatedMesh in any (logical) way I can think of, the only issue being the actual reading of the file? Ok, thanks for the explanation.
