so you are saying that Drupal has no developers to set up sites that have a baseline distribution of modules against which new entries can be tested?<br><br>oh ... ok.<br><br> and as to the $$ issue: Firefox has money because it wasn't the geeks deciding what was a product good enough for marketing and brokering funding deals like the one they have/had with Google. <br>
<br>a libertarian free for all is never going to get you anywhere. you need a modicum of a business structure, even as an open-source project like Drupal, to be able to make some money. <br><br>case in point: WordPress<br>

<div id=":24f" class="ii gt">Firefox gets in the neighborhood of $65 million per year to help<br>
maintain that project. If memory serves me correctly, they have over<br>
200 employees. Drupal has 0 employees and any money that does make its<br>
way into the project gets injected sporadically and under no central<br>
command.<br>

So while your idea to create a "a system that would better identify<br>
<div class="im">the non-user ready modules that need further testing and/or<br>
</div>documentation" is admirable, it won't happen without a large group of<br>
volunteers.</div></blockquote></div><br>
