Hi,

There's quite a few modules in Drupal which provide similar but different functionality. I maintain the lightbox2 module and frequently get asked "what's the difference between lightbox2 and module X?" So I've finally created a doc comparing the various "lightbox" type modules available in Drupal (lightbox2, thickbox, shadowbox, .....). The doc is available at http://drupal.org/node/266126 for anyone who may be interested.

I'd really like to see more comparisons done on modules which share similar functionality. I think it would be quite useful to see such a comparison before downloading all the modules and trying them out one by one, especially for newbies in the Drupal community. Just my 2 cents.

Very nice write-up. There was a similar one done for Drupal 5 wysiwyg editors as part of GHOP, and it'd be great to see more. I took the liberty of adding a new book page at http://drupal.org/node/266179 for 'Module Comparisons' and adding both as child pages so we can list them together in one place. Also cross-posting to the documentation list.
