categorizing modules -- this is a great project. another thought. modules by use. when you set up civicspace, it asks if you want to set up a site for 1) politics 2) artists etc. one category there would definitely 3) ecommerce and maybe 4) paid memberships. on another dimension, stability, we could have categories like 1) well documented 2) contributed by core developers on another dimension, ease of use 1) easy (only ftp necessary) 2) moderate (need to import mysql tables) 3) advanced since i'm developing an ecommerce site, i really think it'd be fabulous to have the list of ecommerce sites (which kieran pointed me to one day on civicspace, thank you kieran) along with evaluations of how well it's documented, how stable it is, and how easy to use. we should also indicate which modules conflict with each other. ae2005
What you're looking at here is faceted metadata, which is - btw - one of the strenghts of the Drupal taxonomy module. :-) Best ae2005 wrote:

2) contributed by core developers
For example, I am a core developer, and by now, you can say I am one of the seniors. Does that mean anything about the code blurbs I commit to contributions? Nothing. I barely have time to maintain them. And who's a "core developer"? Core maintainer is a category which is clearly defined, it's listed in MAINTANERS.txt but in so far we asked for no "core developer certificate" from anyone who took the effort to submit a core patch :) Regards NK
