[META] Comparison with other modules and possible cooperation

Is there a difference between this module and the Config Pages module?

Both modules seem to serve the exact same purpose and seem to use similar ways to achieve it (custom fieldable entity for global settings with API to extract data).

Does this module provide any unique or extra features that Config Pages doesn't/can't provide?

    If site is monolingual - both modules are possible.
    If site is multilingual and configuration has to be different in different languages - config_pages.
    If site is multilingual and configuration is the same in different languages and need just translate it - site_settings.

    I think this sh/c/ould be part of the project page, @scott_euser.

    And it should be outlined here one more time how supportive and community-embracing your awesome attitude is in here as project maintainer. Very much appreciated! And a good example how it should be handled which I would love to see in other issue queues. Heads up! +1

    There another player in the woods we need to put in the list -> https://www.drupal.org/project/eck_site_settings

    This module enables the use of Entity Construction Kit (ECK) entities as global, site-wide setting entities. It's an alternative for modules like Site Settings and Labels or Config Pages.

    I changed the issue in this regard a little bit if you don't mind. Feel free to change back if you think this is not what you want. Apart from that META issues are no Support requests. Plan or Task would suite best. Feel free to edit to your liking. Just wanted to chime in and help while humbling over this issue accidentally.

    Thanks! Added reference to https://www.drupal.org/project/eck_site_settings on the module homepage. Unsure completely how it differs other than using ECK as a base. Perhaps it was created before noticing the 2x version of this module (since 2x also uses entities, manage display, etc).
