Hi,
"Modules that duplicate functionality available from an existing module are damaging to the Drupal project."
Please support or refute that statement and propose strategies for managing CVS applications and/or projects on Drupal.org in a way that will best help the Drupal project.
Pardon my crankiness, but the best way to help the Drupal project has absolutely nothing to do with this statement at all, and everything to do with improving the tools on Drupal.org that everyone (both users and module developers) use to find modules they're looking for: module categorization, project browsing, search, metrics, etc. I'd be thrilled to see even 1/100th of the people who took the bait by responding to this thread direct some of that energy into these efforts instead: * http://groups.drupal.org/issue-tracking-and-software-releases * http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-org-redesign-analysis -Angie
