That's really interesting - would be an interesting problem to try and define the metric for such a module. Almost certainly something for any version 2+. Thanks.<br clear="all">--Jim<br>--<br>My IM and Skype details are at <a href="http://state68.com/contact">http://state68.com/contact</a><br>

I guess this is almost an AI module, as it would take a whole set of parameters (like Gábor said) and somehow classify the modules according to a certain "degree of use". The monitor could then issue some report about all modules below a certain threshold, to which it would expect a reaction from the site administrator wethere to mark them as "needed" or to disable them. This later reaction could even be a learning process for the classifier itself, or just a "don't mess with nuclear missiles" flag on that specific module, causing it to miss the next round of classifying.<div>

I don't think you'd even need a module to do this. You can get a list of currently used modules by doing:<div><br></div><div>SELECT name FROM system WHERE type='module' AND status='1';</div><div><br>
</div><div>You could likely write a quick script to compare the list returned by that SQL statement to your modules list.</div><div><br clear="all">Thanks,<br>Cameron<br><br>

I have a list of 60+ modules that I download, via drush, to each new Drupal site that I build.
