<div dir="ltr">It seems you misunderstood my reasoning. I'm simply suggesting this to make it compulsory for any CVS owner to talk about a possible module on the dev list BEFORE being able to create the project node. If the module is new it will get a thumbs up and he would get the go, if it's repetitive, the CVS owner will need to give good reasoning and then could be allowed to post it, and if he can't persuade anyone it would get rejected. Other module developers could suggest teaming up or perhaps point him to modules with similar functionality that he was unaware of as long as he has to post to the dev list before being able to create a new project node (kind of reminds me of the node limit module).<br>
<br>I'm simply suggesting this to make sure modules don't spring up in the dark without anyone's knowledge rather than trying to oppose repetitive modules. Currently, CVS owners are free to add as many project nodes as they want when they get their CVS access. Which sounds wrong given that he got his access for creating one module.<br>

</div>FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME! Repetitive modules are good, they always have<br>
subtile differences!<br>
<br>
Please, project owners, do describe why your module is unique on your<br>
project page!<br>
