[development] Two module ideas

[Ashraf Amayreh]

Nancy, thanks a lot for following this recommendation. I hope that everyone
sees the benefits of announcing a module before development and I hope all
other developers follow Nancy's footsteps in this regard. Perhaps
reconsidering the idea of making this compulsory would be a good idea.

I do not want to get into this conversation again, but simply trying to
emphasize to everyone the benefits gained and trying to show that this
cannot be considered raising the barrier for existing/potential developers.

Regards,
AA
