2) Use something else to organize the modules page
Module category from drupal.org project form
- doesn't need to be provided by maintainer
- discreet set of options
- can be limiting for modules that don't fit in the options available
Downloaded / uploaded together
- indication of which "modules" came in which "module"
- similar to the updates page (admin/reports/updates)
"tags" or "labels"
- also up to the module maintainer
- unlimited number of options
- .info file syntax: tags[] = Administration
Dependencies
- which modules depend on others
- which modules are required by others
Extensions
- (someone please explain extensions?)
