Why an .ini file? The .ini extension *means* something (Windows .ini file) - is Drupal going to have full support of the .ini specification? If not, I'd rather use .help, and stick the module name, description, and all help docs in there too. If .help isn't generic enough (for the various metadata things you mention), then use .info. But .ini *means* something and it means we either support the .ini spec fully (ugh, really?) or overload the meaning (never a good thing).
Agreed. I think a *.info is the best bet. *.help seems to connote more of a help file, rather than an about or meta file. Heck, even *.meta would work too. Regardless of the extension, having a file like this is key and I think we can all agree on that. ted
