I've moved this up to the top level of "beyond the basics" (alongside snippets, modules, themes, howtos etc.). And it's even got a WYSIWYG comparison in it (although a few months old now). I'd quite like to see a comparison of the various 'related/similar content' modules - there must be at least 10-15 by now. Image modules would be a massive help for newbies. Must be lots of others. <br>

I think a 'module comparisons' section is important enough to deserve a top-level place in the handbook, with a link from the downloads page to make it easy for someone looking for modules to find. I actually think writeups like this are far more useful that the contrib module rating system that is often discussed. What does a 5 star rating tell you? It tells you the module solved a specific problem for the person who rated it, it doesn't tell you if it will solve *your* problem or be useful in *your* situation. But this kind of writeup makes it easy to see which module is the best fit for your particular situation, which is really really useful.<br>
<br> This should not be buried down in the module documentation -- someone looking at one of the other modules would never see it. It should be very prominent (and that hopefully would also encourage other people to add more of these kinds of comparisons).<br>
<br> For instance a good comparison of the different wysiwyg editors would be pretty useful :)<br><br> Karen<br><br></blockquote><br>
