List Instances

The ListInstance element specifies default data with which to provision the given list type. This element maps to the List element previously located within the Configuration element in Onet.xml.

Example

The following example shows the contents of an XML file in which the ListInstance element is used to specify default data for a list instance.

Xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
   <ListInstance 
      Id="WssAdminTasks" Title="Administrator Tasks" 
      Description="Create an Administrator Tasks list to track a group of admin work items."
      TemplateType="1200" Url="Lists/AdminTasks">
      <Data>
         <Rows>
            <Row>
               <Field Name="Action">/_admin/globalemailconfig.aspx?Source=/default.aspx, Configure Outgoing E-Mail Settings</Field>
               <Field Name="Description">Specify the SMTP e-mail server to use for alerts and administrator notifications.</Field>
               <Field Name="Title">Outgoing e-mail settings</Field>
               <Field Name="SystemTask">True</Field>
               <Field Name="Priority">01</Field>
               <Field Name="Service">SMTP</Field>
            </Row>
         </Rows>
      </Data>
   </ListInstance>
</Elements>

You have conflicting information here. The Id field of the ListInstance element as defined here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms476062.aspx

says that:

Id = Required Integer. Specifies a unique identifier for the list instance. The integer must be unique across the Feature definition.

But your example above has the Id of the ListInstance element as "WssAdminTasks".
