I think the important part is giving users good information. Asking the docs team to write module comparison pieces is a good thing too. But I'm against any plan that tries to put controls on module creation because the freedom to scratch an itch has led to great creativity and ingenuity. But helping module developers know what is already out there, that's always a good thing.<br>
<br>When the d.o. re-design launches, I think it is going to be a different world. And I think it will be a lot clearer where energies should be spent on helping site builders and other Drupal constitutents get what they need.<br>

</div>IMO there should be a CVS policy disallowing namespaces to be differentiated with dashes, underscores, spaces, and so on. This is a perfect example of the confusion this can cause.<br>

</div>I think that if this is something you want to do, you should try and find some of the more popular maintained modules and try to get one or two sets of projects on board. Once there are a few big projects starting down this path, I think it would really help to encourage the smaller projects to work together.<br>
