Okay let's not loose focus. A summary: We agree on the poitn that we need: * a closed contribs section (official) * an open contribs section (sanbox)
Yes
We disagree (or so it seems) on how to mamange the closed contribs. * I say we should bundle them by functionality, * You are saying we need some rating for them.
Actually, no. I *like* your idea of bundles for closed contribs. The ratings I was thinking for the other modules (because there is many, and not always good quality). If there is a selection of good quality modules that all work together, there is no need for rating system, just good descriptions of what they do, and being well organised.
* WE all say we need to pass modules trough a team of contrib maintainers before they are allowed in the closed sesction.
Yes, good idea
* We should not forget that we actually have such a closed & open system, but too little people actually use it: All specific and unfinshed code *must* be in /sandbox/yourname/
One thing, sandbox is not very visible, maybe there could be another place that contributors can publish working modules, even if they are not 'approved'.
Only releasable modules should be in contribs. Only finshed modules should be taggted for a Drupal release. PPl. seem to disagree a lot about when it the last two points are applicable.
I think more control at the top level is needed, how it should work - I'm not so sure what's best - maybe other people will give some good ideas.
So: We do not disagree, But I am saying that we should go a bit further than only closed contribs: Thats where I am talking abou "combining". I meant to "combine" the bundles and close-open contribs ideas.
Yes, could be good. Apart from amazon and image, what else should be grouped, and how?
